The iPhone 15 Can't Be Fully Transparent?

Apple announced something unexpected with the new iPhone 15 and 15 plus models this year. The 15 and 15 Plus feature “color-infused” back glass, something they claim is an industry first. In this video, we find out precisely what they meant by this, and make the world's first-ever custom-modded iPhone 15. By scraping away the paint on the rear end of the backglass, we can create transparent glass that should look absolutely spectacular. This process is both tedious and time-consuming but we think the results will speak for themselves.

good thing for Apple is that their phones still haven't been smoked

[@Hot.sausee]

Absolutely gorgeous. Reminded me of when the transparent back glass mod for the iPhone 4s was $12.99. 2 screws, 2 minutes, and you didn’t have to break any seals to swap it. Just 2 months shipping and you were the coolest cat in school.

Because: - not everyone want to see internal components - they don't want to make the iPhone look like a piece of tech, but like a stilish device, so Apple logo at the center.

probably cus it compromises the structural integrity of the phone

[@crispyjokingtuna1495]

If I ever get ahold of a spare back panel… Also I wonder how it would look if you applied a colored film instead of white to enhance the saturation of the panel. So many options, and this explains a lot of why the colors look the way they do…

[@user-ce7ic1ze2u]

That looks sick! Especially with the infused yellow that changes with different angles

[@computerpwn]

the color appearing at an angle looks so cool, transparent mods are the coolest for anything

[@AcornAnnihilators]

I thought that your transparent iPhone mod couldn't get any cooler since, you know, Apple being Apple. But dang you pulled it off with significant improvement to the cleaness throughout the process while being indestructive! I don't usually give any video a like but I did on this one. It's like watching your favourite football team winning a champtionship; jumping out of my seat when I see that it works 😂 I went full POG when I see the result at the first second hahahah! Made my day mate! Great video! 😊

[@PhoneRepairGuru]

Appreciate you🫡

[@BobJoe-ht7qd]

@@PhoneRepairGuruhere a good idea for a video buy older refurbished iPhone so there not two years old. So there can be more problems because there older and see if you can find any good or bad things about each one. I just think that getting iPhone that are only one to two years old isn’t going to have that many problems with them, but if you get older ones that most likely won’t happen. Like maybe in a iPhone 10 or older. Idnk just in video idea for you.

When it gets turned on its side, it looks so cool you can see infused yellow so well

[@historyofapple]

It tempts me to do it with my 15 pro max but my concern is how would Apple take it next time I upgrade in the way of trade in value

[@ceuve1209]

Why tf trade in if you can sell the phone for more than the original value on ebay with the transparent back, even without it you get more selling it yourself than doing the trade in, for my 13 pro max they give me les than 400€ when I sell it for 880 on ebay myself xd

[@DinoGuy1969]

i noticed that too.

[@tripledogmlgf1411]

They had to cut costs on production lol, ngl that could actually be it

[@SMgaming619]

if I had to guess, they're probably using last year's assembly, as opposed to the pros, which are different enough to not be able to use the same one from last year.. if people weren't complaining about the pros not having it, they'd probably remove it from the normal 16 as well next year. Why they didn't make a new metal piece.. time, money, or they figured it wouldn't be necessary. When dropping the phone on its back not having the plate might actually be beneficial, but clearly not the case when applying pressure to it. edit: were -> weren't

[@7SUK1]

The answer is much simpler you guys... It's to make clear modding easier 😁
