Apple device collector Giulio Zompetti has shared images on Twitter that show a transparent prototype of two of the company’s products — Apple AirPods and Apple 29W Charger or Power Adapter.

The shared images show Apple AirPods, either first-generation or the second generation, in a clear or transparent plastic case for the outer shell of the earbuds, including the stem part. This gives a clear look at the internals of true wireless earphones. It is likely to be an engineering prototype used for internal testing.

A week ago, Giulio Zompetti had shared images of a prototype of an Apple 29W charger which also has a transparent casing. For those who are unaware, the company was offering a 29W power adapter with the 12-inch MacBook but was discontinued along with that product and was replaced with a 30W adapter.

As we noted above, the transparent AirPods prototype was likely used for internal testing and it’s highly unlikely that the technology giant is planning to launch such a version in the market. Apple launches AirPods in just White color without giving users a choice in the matter, is not suddenly going to offer a transparent option to customers.

This prototype of AirPods may remind you of the Nothing Ear (1) true wireless earphones which comes with a transparent design for the earbuds as well as the charging case. It was launched earlier this year as the first-ever product of Nothing, a new technology venture started by OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei.
