# Charitable Holiday Apps The Apple Donation Box App Donates the Price of Unwanted Apps to Charity By Elise Ying-Hei Ho | Published 2012-11-12 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-donation-box-app References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/354311/Donate-Unwanted-Apps-Raise-Money-For-Charity/) The Apple Donation Box app is a great way to de-clutter your phone while helping someone in need this holiday season. Many have paid and downloaded apps that they are disappointed with or no longer use. This holiday season, instead of merely deleting these unwanted apps, donate them to a charity by downloading the Apple Donation Box app. For seven days, Apple will take all apps that are dragged and dropped into the donation box and donate the price of the deleted application to the Salvation Army. The donation box allows digital consumers, which are only increasing in numbers, to be able to participate in worthy causes as well. Though still a concept application, this idea shows Apple’s creativity to innovate and adapt in philanthropic ways, encouraging its loyal consumers to follow suit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Donation Apps:** The rise of donation apps presents opportunities for businesses to align with charitable causes and engage customers in giving back. - **De-cluttering Technology:** The trend of de-cluttering technology offers opportunities for companies to create innovative solutions that help consumers clean up their digital spaces while making a positive impact on society. - **Digital Philanthropy:** The emergence of digital philanthropy platforms opens up possibilities for businesses to leverage technology in facilitating charitable giving and building brand loyalty. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobile App Development:** Mobile app development companies can capitalize on the demand for donation apps by creating user-friendly platforms that enable users to support charitable causes. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce businesses can incorporate de-cluttering technology into their platforms, offering customers a seamless way to donate unwanted digital items while enhancing their shopping experiences. - **Tech Philanthropy:** Tech companies can explore opportunities in digital philanthropy by developing innovative tools and partnerships that make it easier for consumers to contribute to charitable organizations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Charitable Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/24-good-deeds.md) - [Charitable App-Focused Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slim-chickens1.md) - [Charity Donation Discovery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charityexplorer.md) - [Storage-Saving iPhone Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macpaw.md) - [Digital Holiday Light Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festivitas-app.md) - [Charitable Shopping Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/give-freely.md) - [Seasonal Surplus Produce Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-feast-rescued-box.md) - [Giftable Meal Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/give-deliciously-collection.md) - [Tech Brand HIV/AIDS Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-pay-donations.md)
