Funny how I no longer immediately think of the fruit when I hear the term Apple mailbox. Damn you Apple, you control my life! I just angrily typed that on a Mac. I can’t win.
From mini McMansion mailboxes to the Apple mailbox, check out all of the modern mailboxes which, thanks to companies like Apple, are basically obsolete.
Implications - As more consumers get essential communication via electronic means, such as email, text messages and phone calls, their need for print mail has significantly decreased. Mailboxes aren't yet obsolete, but their function has transformed; artistic mailboxes turn these postal-service receptacles into outdoor accents that reflect the owners' personality and interests.
