          such poor quality... though the jet black is even worse, they have scratches on them new out of the box and will scratch when you clean them with microfiber cloths. i don't think i've seen any that aren't completely covered in scratches

                To all those people quickly jumping to defend Apple my point is this,If it's just wear and tare on a phone that's 4 months old? How come it's reported only the Matt Black phones that chipping? Inferior quality methinks.

                Or perhaps it's a new Apple processor and Ichip :-)

                          If you can afford to buy this iphone 7 then you shouldn't mind and go to Karalux or Goldgenie to get gold plating for your chipped black iphone 7. Problem solved.
