The Stanford University researcher Yi Cui said he wants an iPhone see-through - and it has done its part to help create one by developing a transparent drum.
There are currently few gadgets partically transparent market - digital photo frames and portable keyboards - but they all had to be powered by batteries boring visible.
Cui idea was that because the various important components can not really be made transparent, his team needed a way to build a battery that has allowed its non-transparent components to be too small to see.
"If something is less than 50 microns, your eyes will feel like it is transparent," said graduate student Yuan Yang.
Yang Cui and has developed a mesh-like electrodes to the battery, with each "line" in the grid to only 35 microns wide. Because the individual lines are so thin, wide area networking is transparent.
However, by reiterating the comments, it does illustrate that Jobs is interested in getting development of an LTE compatible iPhone handset well underway. The question is, how are Apple going to solve the battery life issues?
