Why don't they make see-thru electronics anymore?

It'd be a lot more impressive now, with the super dense circuitry they pack into eg mobile phones

'Cause if they did then they wouldn't be able to lie about how much power their devices are packing.

I only had one of these

I had the phone, found it at a garage sale for $5 when landlines were still relevant.

For one thing it’s somewhat dated. The style tends to be emblematic so until it’s consodered “retro cool” it’s avoided by manufacturers who want technology products to look “cutting edge.” For another t obscures case design which is a big part of brand image for most manufacturer. Apple made it part of their image but has since switched to a “classier” scheme. Which is the next point. Designs like that are perceived as unmprofessional or immature. You also need to carry more inventory to cater to preference and it’s riskier than a more neutral black, white, etc. clear plastics have draw backs in use, can become discolored from light exposure and allow light in to light or temperature sensitive areas, show scratches easily, and many consumer electronics now are so tightly packaged you wouldn’t see much, or hide things like weights designed to make them “feel higher quality.” All in all- it’s not a “safe” business move and people don’t tend to be wowed as much by solid state electronics

Because marketers don't think they look cool.

There’s a DualShock 4 that’s entirely see through

I still have my see through n64 controller lol

wii have a see thru wiimote.

Issss uglyyyy

I’m on the fence about those designs...the see through is great on some things, but I feel it doesn’t work for others
