Jet Black iPhones are in short supply as they are hard to manufacture:
"According to a new report by respected analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is in the midst of a global shortage of Jet Black iPhones, and it’s because the finish is so tricky to get right. According to Kuo, the Jet Black iPhone 7’s 9 step manufacturing process has a 60-70% yield rate – meaning 30-40% of Jet Black components don’t make the cut."
