So, when Apple announced two new colors for the
iPhone 7 last year, which were “matte black” and “shiny black”, it made for a good couple of jokes, right? But hey, the iPhone is the iPhone and before we knew it, black was cool again. Samsung raced to launch a “limited edition”
Galaxy S7 edge in
Pearl Black so that it can have a black phone before the
Galaxy S8 launches, OnePlus got super-inspired and introduced a
Midnight Black edition of the 3T, with the color moving on to the
OnePlus 5 now... and a lot of the new models in 2017 have been quite blacked out.
Hey, matte black on metal looks awesome, sure. But there is such a thing of overexposure, even for the cool stuff. Are you feeling a bit fatigued by the blacky black on black models?
