Unlike your trolling, I actually own a Jet Black and it is indeed a tactile finish and not just a color. Get a clue, holmes. Or just go away?

Listen, "Holmes", I get you think you are the authority on trolling, but the fact that I find it comical than an adult thinks his smartphone "feels amazing" does not make me a troll. But your reaction says hell of alot more about you. Someone can be a fan, but not a fanboy. This site does have a high percentage of its active posters that are fanboys and I get those of you that are think you have to protect the Apple brand.

I actually joined because as a long time fan of Apple, I think you fellas actually hurt the brand with your rants.

Apple's Jet Black is more than just a color. It's a finish. And it not only looks great, it feels fantastic.

LOL..statements like this one will ensure that Jony Ive continues to do the promo videos at product launches. At least some fans buy into those spots. 

You're probably right in saying it is more of a move to renew interest in the S7. And since the Jet Black iPhone is/was a success in terms of customer demand, why not use something similar? They might also get a few naive buyers who would have otherwise bought an iPhone.

Agreed. Worldwide some of the other manufacturers sell phones, but in the US only two companies matter. 

This is a move that I think would be a good one for Apple also (new colors later in the cycle). If the rumors of the Jet White play out, it would probably help keep the sales momentum for longer though the product cycle. 

I don't think it's accurate (this time) that they are copying Apple. For one, this is the same color that they offered with the discontinued Note 7, right?

Seems like more of a move to maintain interest in a 9 month old device until their next flagship product launches. Besides they have already brought over a powder blue version from the Note 7. I think is more of the same. No new device, how about a new color..

So what if it's peaked? The 7 and 7 Plus will likely be relatively flat in terms of sales vs the 6. The 8 will return to growth, likely followed by a decline again for the 8s. It's a mature market product. Why debate this ad naseum everytime an analyst makes such a claim?

The iPhone is great effing product and Apple will make another 7 or 8 billion net even with flat sales. When did THAT become a bad thing? Just continue to make the best products. Focus on the customers, not the shareholders please Tim.
