Apple wants to own the iphone5.com domain name

0. phoneArena posted on 07 May 2012, 02:50

Apple is currently trying to obtain the iphone5.com domain name, which is owned by a third party. This could mean that the next iPhone will be known as the iPhone 5, as some speculated, but most likely, Apple is just hunting down domain names once again...

Well of course they'll win but do have to file complaints/ law suits every week? Sheesh. And isn't the new iPad called the iPad HD?

Can't blame Apple for this as there are many porn websites making use of iPhone name like to drive user to their site. That's a problem. Perhaps a business image problem for Apple.

The should have to pay for it. If your confused your an idiot. If you go to iPhone5 and go to the forum expecting to buy the iPhone five your an idiot. If your expecting news about it then there you go. Apple is just so controlling to have every name that has iPhone in it. They could get creative and stop putting I in front of every product. I would rather call it the Apple phone, or Or just Apple. The only reason I do support them is because there an American tech company, but just barely I believe most of the effort behind it is over in china.

If I were them, I'd revamp the main part of the website to make it about honing one's intellectual property, thus, IPHone5.com. Then apple can just eat it or try to buy it.

Does it mean Apple buy the domain finially?
