It's 'highly likely' that Apple will discontinue the Space Gray colored iPhone and replace it with a deep blue colored one, according to a recent report from Macotakara.

According to reliable information from a Chinese supplier, the LCD glass surface of the iPhone 7 to be released by Apple as the next model will be the same as that of the current model. However, a Deep Blue Color will probably be added this time. As a Deep Blue will be added to the current Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold, it is highly likely that the Space Gray will be discontinued, says the informed source.

Macotakara has made correct predictions about Apple plans in the past but it does seem unlikely that the company would ditch Space Gray.

As usual, we'll keep you up to date with the latest rumors ahead of the iPhone 7 unveiling this fall. You can follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

Space Grey is their most popular color. Why discontinue it??

Because it is also their ugliest color.

It'd be cool if they did the black color like they did on the 5

They should offer silver metallic, or the metallic colors .

I hope they bring the black color back. Like the 3gs or iphone 4s <3

PerpetuallyBlue - June 10, 2016 at 4:08am

Whatever color the back is, I hope they keep the front black.

PerpetuallyBlue - June 10, 2016 at 4:09am

But the blue is very nice too.

If you read the article it says the front glass would remain the same color.

Very unlikely that apple will remove a basic colour such as space grey. I think the deep blue will be added to the lineup along with space great also as an option just like gold and rose gold. Iphones with 5 colour options looks swell!

I think maybe this is done as a way to hint at one of the long waited features. You'll see if it's mentioned, but I'm sure you'll guess it! If space gray it discontinued, I hope painting it to be space gray will work out.

Hey no name winky face. Aren't you the one I see in the comments telling everyone to just buy a case, or saying everyone uses a case anyway so it doesn't matter what the color is because it's covered up?
