This gorgeous, visible phone 16 Pro make us wish Apple was more of a risk-taker

The iphone 16 Pro has several positive traits, but personality is one that it lacks. A new visible update of the phone has only demonstrated how much more intriguing it could be if Apple made its design handbrake available.

The Youtube channel for Phone Repair Guru makes open types of Apple’s most recent phones, but this year’s may be its best.

The see-through mod inevitably has similarities to the Little Phone 2, but the iphone 16 Pro looks especially good because it has” some of the most gorgeous specifications we’ve ever seen in an phone,” the channel papers.

You naturally didn’t purchase the transparent 16 Pro as the mod approach is a pretty embroiled, warranty-busting process. After the various components have been removed from the back plate, as you can see in the complete video above, the not-considerable task of removing its repurposed aluminum finish is next.

Gallium, a metallic with a low melting point that resembles Terminator T-1000, does presumably have through aluminium for breakfast. So the route applied it to the phone 16 Pro, and the metals finally peeled away like paper, leaving them to wash up and take the existing paint away to create a clear back plate.

All very’ do not try this at home’, but the impressive result – with a metallic battery, copper-colored wireless charger, and labeled taptic engine – has now got us craving an imac G3-style iphone.

Even though Apple pioneered a similar kind of translucent appearance with the imac G3 back in 1998, there is a slim chance that it will release a transparent iphone Pro. Still, we only really want the Pro series to have some of the bolder colors that the iphone 16 series ‘ base has.

Despite the inclusion of the” Desert titanium” shade this year on the iphone 16 Pro series, the colors are otherwise very dull. While that undoubtedly makes them more business-friendly, there are undoubtedly many Pro buyers who just want a fun color to go with the flagship model’s additional amenities, such as a 5x optical zoom.

A leaker speculates that Apple may have delayed some bold colors as part of its upgrade plan for the iphone 17 Pro series from next year, with a potential 2025 shade of Teal Titanium, Green Titanium, or Dark Green Titanium.

Even if Apple leaves the transparent offerings to modders, that speculation would still be a good thing.
