All that aside, Apple has finally listened to the people by introducing two new black finishes - a glossy piano black finish dubbed “Jet Black” and a charcoal black color that is simply calling “Black”

So. beautiful.

The new shiny and sexy black finish seems to be getting the most attention as it’s the most striking visual change for the new phone, but Apple is also warning that the new finish will show scratches easier. :(

Sleek and totally sexy, right? Totally… until the scratches start to appear. Turns out, the Jet Black iPhone could bruise a lot easier than you’d think.

Apple left a footnote at the bottom of the specification page of the iPhone 7. In order to address the issue, Apple went so far as to suggest customers consider a case. The thing is, if you have a case people probably won’t be able to see your jet black iPhone 7 through that case. So there's that...

That's the harsh reality, Jet Black iPhone fans. If you plan to buy it, either be prepared to live with the scratches or hide away its beauty in a protective case.
