Instead of the dreaded blue screen, it's now the black screen. Great.

What surprised me, reading http://www.examiner.com/article/apple-promises-to-fix-ios-7-..., is that the OS seems to know the color of the case. White phones get a white screen, black ones a black one.

Is that the normal boot screen for iOS 7 on iPhones? If so, nice attention to detail, especially if the 5C gives you matching colors, too.

That's the kind of little touch Apple likes to do. It's one of my favorite things about them.

the color matches the screen bezel color. silver/gold iphone get white, 5C and space gray get black.

All the phones do come with their background set to one that matches their primary case color though. Motorola does this with the Moto X as well. Definitely a nice 'premium' touch.

Black is way more trendy than blue though.
