【Happy (2015)】

The Happy (2015)new, Jet Black iPhone 7 is beautiful, and at its event Wednesday, Apple took special care to explain the painstaking engineering process through which the new color was achieved.

But unlike all other models, this particular iPhone 7 model comes with two caveats. First, it's only available in 128GB and 256GB varieties -- there's no 32GB version. This is true regardless of the carrier, and both for the iPhone 7 and the 7 Plus.

We're not sure whether this is a temporary measure to keep the demand down (perhaps this particular color takes longer to produce, and Apple is worried it won't be able to manufacture this model fast enough) or a permanent pricing structure. We've contacted Apple for more info but have not yet heard from them.

Secondly, if you go to pre-order and scroll all the way to the bottom, you'll see that this particular model comes with a special warning.

"The high-gloss finish of the Jet Black iPhone 7 is achieved through a precision nine-step anodization and polishing process. Its surface is equally as hard as other anodized Apple products; however, its high shine may show fine micro-abrasions with use. If you are concerned about this, we suggest you use one of the many cases available to protect your iPhone," Apple's site says.

There's no point in trying to guess now how visible these "fine micro-abrasions" will look like, but this is definitely something to consider if you opt for the Jet Black option, especially since no other variant of the iPhone 7 has this warning.
