There\u2019s an alternate universe out there where Apple (still) makes translucent gadgets, and I want to live in it.<\/p>\n

Giulio Zompetti<\/a>, a developer who also happens to collect rare Apple devices, recently got his hands on what are reportedly partially-transparent Apple prototypes. Behold, the translucent AirPods<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Oooh, ahhh.<\/p>\n

Of course, if you want transparent headphones that are actually meant to be transparent, Nothing<\/a> has you covered. But it\u2019s nice to imagine a universe where this is an option Apple provides too.<\/p>\n

Heck, even Apple\u2019s transparent 29W USB-C brick looks amazing:<\/p>\n

Granted, the interior looks a little sloppier than Apple would probably like on a finished transparent product, but it still looks awesome. Nothing has previously talked about the difficulties of designing transparent gadgets that actually look good, but I\u2019m sure Apple could manage it if, you know, it tried.<\/p>\n

For the youngins reading this, it\u2019s not like this translucent thing would even be novel for Apple; let\u2019s not forget the iconic original iMac (now known as the iMac G3), which came in semi-transparent finishes in all the colors of the rainbow.<\/p>\n
