【[Ep4] Secret Campus】
The [Ep4] Secret Campusnew, 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.
