Who wouldn't want an iPad that looks unique, classy and above all else, have it stand out from the rest of the iPads out there? Most well-known as a luxury mobile phone manufacturer, trying their hand at creating an aesthetically pleasing iPad was clearly not far out of their reach.

Did I mention the logo on the back is also made of 18k pure gold? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury-tech:** Gresso is expanding its luxury mobile phone business by creating high-end tablets to appeal to wealthy consumers seeking unique and sophisticated tech products. - **Unique Design:** Gresso is incorporating rare and exotic materials, like African Blackwood and 18k gold, into their tablets, providing a new sense of luxury and glamour for tech products. - **Stand-out Tech:** Gresso's unique and sophisticated designs for tablets offer individuals the opportunity to have stand-out technology that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Tech Manufacturing:** Luxury tech manufacturers, like Gresso, have the opportunity to expand their business and appeal to wealthy consumers seeking unique and high-end products by incorporating rare and exotic materials. - **Technology Retail:** Technology retailers can capitalize on the growing demand for high-end tech products by partnering with luxury tech manufacturers like Gresso to offer their customers unique and sophisticated gadgets. - **Jewelry Manufacturing:** Jewelry manufacturers can explore the potential of incorporating technological elements or partnering with luxury-tech manufacturers like Gresso to produce high-end and luxurious pieces that cater to tech-savvy consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electronic Device Leather Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pad-quill.md) - [Elegant Laptop Elevators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grovemade.md) - [Luxury Bespoke Smartphones Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-2g.md) - [Luxe Gold-Plated Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldplated-iphone-15-pro.md) - [Wooden Self-Healing Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victor-wood-master-earbuds.md) - [Sustainable Premium Wooden Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakywood.md) - [Slick Smart Watch Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-concept-x-blvck-paris.md) - [Textural Timber-Made Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hacoa-full-kiboard-wireless.md) - [Luxe Diamond Watch Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-concept.md)
