information .Apple Extension by Apple?

[mdrn]

Got an ad from Apple and noticed the URL ended in .Apple TLD, which I've never seen before.

Did a little digging and found this - https://www.apple.com/legal/intellectual-property/tld/

Stumbled upon this legendary thread by @Chill from 2012 which mentions .Apple:

"While Google applied for 101 suffixes, Apple sought only one, ".apple." EBay Inc. and Facebook Inc. didn't propose for any. It was Amazon that bid for ".like" – the button on Facebook that lets users recommend links and brands to friends."

So many brand ccTLDs have went defunct.

Apple has $200B+ cash.

Let’s not get over ourselves.
