  1. 0:32Disassembly starts with brackets, the rear microphone and flash components.
  2. 2:13The charging coil comes out, magnets return to position, and excess graphite paper is trimmed.
  3. 4:52Baked-on paint is scraped from the curved glass because paint thinner hasn't worked.
  4. 6:06The coil, microphone mesh and camera rings are attached to the transparent backplate.
  5. 7:28The reassembled phone undergoes flash and wireless-charging tests.

The glass survived. That detail keeps coming up beneath Phone Repair Guru's "Can We Make The iPhone Duo Transparent?", the most watched upload of a seven-video week.

The project involves removing the charging coil and magnets, stripping baked-on paint from the rear glass, then putting the components back onto the newly clear panel. Paint thinner, the presenter explains, hasn't worked, so this is careful scraping rather than a quick chemical shortcut. The video includes a sponsored power-bank segment. By the final tests, the flash works and wireless charging kicks in.

Viewers have practical questions alongside their surprise that the glass stayed intact: could heating weaken the magnets, and would the channel ever offer transparent modifications to customers? Neither question is quite the same as admiring the finished phone. People are thinking about what living with one might involve.

Elsewhere, "This Is More Than A Dumb Phone #Shorts" is currently bringing in the most daily views of any channel upload. The OLED iPad mini teardown is another active draw, with the description highlighting its Acoustic Display audio system and unexpectedly approachable repairability. An older Short, "Apple Doesn't Want You To Do This... #Shorts", also continues to attract substantial daily viewing three weeks after publication.

The channel added about 10,000 subscribers over the week, although its current daily views are below their usual level. Among nearby gadget channels, Kyle Krueger had a particularly busy week, while Austin Evans and JayzTwoCents are currently seeing slower viewing than usual. For Phone Repair Guru, the week's most distinctive work remains the patient business of making a phone reveal what it normally hides.

What viewers say

  • Your transparent mods always look very nice, really impressive that the backglass didn´t crack.
  • Doesn't the heat Demagnetize the magnet? so does doing this mod make the magnet weaker?

  • would you do ever do a transparent mod for customers and how much would you charge for a standard phone?
