iPhone.com Now Apple Owned

According to Apple Insider, Apple has paid a small technology company a 7-digit figure for domain iPhone.com.

The domain, which was purchased back in 1995, is owned by Michael Kovatch who runs a technology company called The Internet Phone Company. Apparently Apple deemed it necessary to own the domain as the link between iPhone.com and its own iPhone device is a no-brainer and has therefor paid one of the biggest known sums of money in history.

The news was first broadcast on DomainTools who mention that Kovatch had already previously turned down an offer from Apple to sell the domain.

  2. It had been good that Apple paid something for the name and not just took it away ad most of the bigger companies tried to do.
