Apple has a long history of being unpredictable when it comes to securing their copyrights, trademarks. The company has been registering domains related to its product for future use. Recently, Apple purchased two more domains iPhone4.com and WhiteiPhone.com, and paid a very handsome amount for each. The interesting thing is the timing. iPhone 5 is about to be launched and Apple is yet not over to iPhone 4.
It is to be noted that the company has not purchased iPhone5.com and iPhone6.com which are its future products. Got excited? No need. These domains are not available for registration.
You might be thinking that Apple has got spare money to throw away? No, that’s not the case. They are just trying to direct users to the appropriate product without causing any confusion. Previously, Apple bought iPhone.com from a businessman for a whopping amount of $1 million. Easy money for the guy but not for Apple. Other Apple’s domain are iPod.com, iMac.com, iWork.com, iTunes.com but Macbook.com.
That gives you some ideas? Sure, register some potential domain and be a millionaire in the future. People earn a lot of money by selling domains.
cool i wish i bought that domains first 😉
