However a new and somewhat sketchy rumor has surfaced which suggests that Apple could be dropping space gray as a color option. Instead Apple is expected to introduce a blue finish as one of the color options for the upcoming iPhone 7. Now colorful Apple products aren’t new as evidenced in the iPod lineup, but a blue iPhone? That does seem a bit odd.
According to the rumor which has been translated from Chinese, “However, it seems a new deep blue color is added. Current Silver, Gold, joined by Deep Blue to Rose Gold, information sources that there is a high possibility that the space gray disappears says.” It could be that something was lost in translation, but Apple dropping space gray as a color option would no doubt be a huge change.
Hopefully that isn’t the case as there are probably plenty of iPhone owners who might prefer keeping things simple and basic, so do take it with a grain of salt for now.
