iPhone 7 might come in blue instead of Space Gray
Finally, a non-gold color might enter the iPhone world.
According to Japan's Macotakara, which quotes sources from China's supply chain, the iPhone 7 will come in blue, while the Space Gray color might be going away.
The rumor makes sense for two reasons. Currently, the iPhone 6S is available in four colors, two of which are grayish -- Silver and Space Gray -- with the other two being Rose Gold and Gold. Not really a big choice if you don't like gray or gold.

Plus, Apple already sells a blue gadget: the iPod Touch is available in blue, as you can see in the photo above. The blue iPhone might look a bit darker than that, though, as Macotakara claims the new color will be called Deep Blue. So, some sort of blue/dark gray mix? We could live with that.
While we're in wild speculation waters, let's consider one more rumor: The one that the iPhone 7 will be a somewhat boring redesign, with few revolutionary new features. If that's true, adding a new color to the mix might liven things a bit.
The iPhone 7 will likely be launched in the U.S. fall. It's rumored to have a dual-lens camera, a design quite similar to the iPhone 6s/6s Plus models, an upgraded processor and no headphone jack.
