The iPhone Pro family could be so much more fun
The iPhone 16 Pro has many positive traits, but one thing it does lack is personality – and a new transparent mod of the phone has just shown us how much more interesting it could be if Apple released its design handbrake.
Crafting transparent versions of Apple’s latest phones is something of an annual tradition for the Phone Repair Guru YouTube channel, but this year’s might be its best yet.
The see-through mod naturally has echoes of the Nothing Phone 2, but the iPhone 16 Pro looks particularly good as it has «some of the most stunning internals we’ve ever seen in an iPhone», as the channel notes.
You naturally can’t buy the transparent 16 Pro as the modding technique is a pretty involved, warranty-busting process. As you can see in the full video below, once the various components have been stripped from the back plate, there’s the not-inconsiderable task of removing its recycled aluminum finish.
