Well, it was only a matter of time before [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Mac-OS) starting taking over the world. The iCard is for computer geeks who want to express their techy side in the form of [greeting cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creatacard-greetings).

These miniature computers feature an early 2000s Apple laptop model, complete with a computer screen and keyboard inside.

**Implications** - Apple has pioneered a [minimalist aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-2) that is truly all its own, and the company's devoted followers are all too eager to embrace that specific style whenever and wherever they can. Companies looking to get in on this consumer trend can make the most of this opportunity by finding creative ways to cleverly "Appleize" even the most common of existing products.
