Jet Black iPhone 7 scratches easily

07 September 2016
One of the new things about the just-unveiled iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus is the Jet Black color version, never before seen on an Apple mobile device. This certainly looks the part, employing a high-gloss finish that stands out from the crowd. Apple boasts that this is achieved "through a precision nine-step anodization and polishing process".

      Cases not only serve you from scratches, but it is pretty good to save your phone from unwanted drops.

When Apple released high gloss products in the past, people complained that it scratched (even though Apple assumed people were smart enough to understand that from the start). Now they put a warning, and suddenly people are complaining there's a warning? Lol, you haters will never be happy, so keep on hating. In the mean time, millions of people are enjoying. I know which one I would rather be doing.

            I love that reasoning:
            Buy nice looking device with cool color/finish...
            But if you don't want to scratch it, put it in ugly case.

            First companies always brag about finish/color or thickness, and then they "suggest" to use big ugly cases to protect it...

                      and also the phone scratches from the first days = you must buy a case.Next year maybe the screen will get out of the phone easy and people will be obligated to buy special apple "iScreen protectors"

                          If course it scratches if it's hard. Waiting for a "scuffgate 2.0"

                            Yes, I remember the 3GS and the chrome edge that got scratches when I put it in a soft TPU case and took it out again. I think it was so bad that the phone would get scratched against your face if you forgot to shave before using the phone.

                              So apple creates such a beautiful jet black device and tell us to use a case to protect it ? What's the point in buying the phone then ? People will buy it to show off and now they can't because it scratches easily. LOLLLL........

                                        everyone will chose what is good for him, Apple is a great product when it come to IPhone, they always make sure they deliver a great product, I was an apple fan however they are always late to deliver the latest technologie, today I am more into Android ( Samsung Note or Nexus line up) I respect everyone choice, Galaxy note 7 is the best phone or Phablet , when it come to the batterie issue, I am not sure if we should make a huge story about it, I own 2 note 7 and been contacted for a replacement however until now we did not see any behavior or heating while charging . we heard in the past iPhone exploded, what is very important that Samsung did step out and offer a full replacement or refund, if I do remember iPhone 4 with the death signal Apple did only offer a case but this never fixed the phone signal issue and Apple never replaced or offer a full refund to their customer, I believe smartphone today is not only brand because Huawei showed us they are capable to produce great product, we all love gadget and everyone will buy what suite his need.
