One of the rare instances where the product-in-progress may look better than the final version is when Giulio Zompetti photographed a prototype Apple charging brick. The retail version of the device has internals hidden by white plastic, whereas the clear plastic shell makes it possible for you to see Apple's design process.
A pair of AirPods that live up to the name were also sent by Zompetti. The retro-futuristic look of the densely packed electronics makes me wish Apple would sell see-through gadgets again.
In the 90s, transparent electronics were a fad, with Apple's iMac G3 often being brought up by those reminiscing about the age of transparent electronics, alongside the Nintendo 64 and Unisonic clear phone. The look seems to be having a sort of revival: you can buy skins that make it look like you have done a transparent mod on your phone, and companies like Nothing are releasing actually see- through skins. There are a variety of after-market mod for consoles like the Nintendo Switch that let you replace the device's opaque plastic with a case that shows off the internals.

The Ear 1s look a lot like the prototype.

A huge collection of see-through gadgets, including a PS5 and dualsense controller, was posted by a user on the internet.
The image is labeled "Odellot."
The new MacBook includes a refreshed design, but the Apple logo hasn't started glowing again, and we can't get colors on pro devices. If transparent devices start coming back in a big way, I hope that Apple will return to its roots.
You love to show off the work of your engineers in presentations, so come on, Apple. Let it see the light of day and make us feel like it is the future again by giving us some transparent accessories.
Zompetti posted pictures of an AirPower prototype earlier this year, showing off some incredible circuitry, if you like seeing the internals of Apple devices. The original iPhone prototype looked more like a breadboard electronics project than a pocketable device, and you can read about it in The Verge.
