Apple might be going back to black with the iPhone 7, making it the darkest iPhone since the days of the iPhone 3Gs.
We got a major crush on the deep blue iPhone 7 earlier this month, but now that mockup artist Martin Hajek has whipped up this Space Black creation, we’re torn between what Apple’s new iPhone color should be.
Prepare to drool:
Murdered out
Recent rumors claimed Apple will unleash a dark blue iPhone 7; however, a new report claims it will actually be more of a “formal black” that will be much darker than Apple’s space gray iPhone.
The dark black frame would bring a fresh new look to the iPhone lineup. Apple’s certain to come out with a new color this year, giving fans a way to signify that they upgraded to the most boring iPhone update in years.
Along with going darker than ever, the iPhone 7 might also be the first iPhone to not have a headphone jack. The rumor mill has been split on whether Apple will come out with Lightning EarPods, or if the company will simply include a 3.5mm to Lightning adapter so old headphones can work on the device.
If Apple does come out with Lightning EarPods, I hope we get some black ones to match the new alleged iPhone color.

So you can’t listen music while charging ?
“The iPhone 7 might be the first iPhone to have a headphone jack” Yikes!!!!
The color on the back doesn’t really matter much since I am forced to put it in a case because it feels too slippery in hand, except I wouldn’t see the ‘space gray’ in the cutouts for the camera, speaker, and ports on the black leather case from Apple.
You’re not forced, you choose to. I don’t put mine in cases.
Ooh! In love with that colour! And look! A flush home button… waterproof? :-D
This rumor comes around every few years, but I hope this time Apple will actually pull the trigger. If they offer an iPhone 7 in black, put me down for two.
Big fan of the concept, but still not enough to upgrade.
