So a lot of people have very varied opinions on whether or not Apple made the right decision with regards to making the (Product)RED iPhone 7 and 7 Plus models have a white front, or if it should've been a black front. Let's hear it guys - what do you think? Personally, I think all white aside from the red of course, is the preferred way to go - Apple logo, front, preferably even as much as the camera housing as possible - and then a red TouchID ring.

It seems, at least on this site, I'm in the minority in thinking that red goes better with white than it does with black. I've never liked the combination of red and black. Occasionally, I'll find something that looks good in that combination, but for the vast majority of things, I think red looks better with white.

They should have done it in black if it was going to be only one color choice only...wouldn't be the first time Apple got things wrong.

Some will embrace it, some won't...story of the world.

Looks like an oversized iPod touch with that stupid white face, I really don't understand Apples bias towards the white front.

Neither. Maybe have it as a second phone but not as a daily driver.

Needed a red Touch ID ring. Notice how Apple carefully 'almost" hide that it's silver online. A lot of reports say the Apple logo is white on the rear but in the YouTube unboxings it looks like it's actually silver too.
