Apple Registers AppleOriginalProductions.com Domain Name

[MacRumors]

Apple recently registered the domain name AppleOriginalProductions.com, according to a WHOIS record discovered by MacRumors. The new record indicates that Apple obtained the domain name on Thursday.

The record's domain information lists Apple Inc. as the registrant organization. The registrar is CSC Corporate Domains, a firm that protects domain names for large corporations, and is used by Apple for its domain name registrations.

While the domain does not currently point to an active website, and may never do so, its registration does come at a time when Apple has been ramping up its efforts to pick up Apple TV+ first-look rights deals with various established producers.

This month alone, Apple has signed first-look TV and movie deals with Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way production company, Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey's Team Downey production company, and a multi-year production deal with filmmaker Martin Scorsese.

Apple has dozens of original TV shows and movies in the works for its Apple TV+ streaming service. For a full list of upcoming and existing original content, check out our comprehensive guide.

I believe it is a typo to say "Apple.com" in the first sentence. Isn't it "AppleOriginalProductions.com" ?

Haha, that's hilarious:

Employee who registered the domain doesn’t want his/her name in articles such as this.

OK that makes more sense if it's an individual person. I had thought "Registrant" was a company or something.

Timmy's got his Director's chair y'all...

 

[Blackstick]

That's a mouthful of a URL.

They don’t think the enterprise is going to last more than a year? At the very least they probably could have gotten a better price by registering for multiple years.

Probably just got it so nobody else does

Tbf it is still quite amusing indeed 😊

I feel sorry for person who's job it is to search domain name registars just to see what is the latest domain name Apple has registered.

I scooped up AppleRandomSubscriptionServices.coma few weeks ago. Payday soon?

From a computer and tech company to a record company and now a movie studio too, besides operating as a credit card issuer, electronic payment provider, news publisher, and what not, and apparently soon it’ll operate as an online gym as well... It’s becoming harder and harder to define Apple.

Apple will sue your ass for URL squatting.

And that's driving the nerd herd crazier every day.

Maybe Apple should make a new domain name AppleRulesTheWorld.com or maybe AppleIntoEverything.com or AppleInvolvedInEverything.com

 

[D.T.]

I registered AppleOrignalProductions.com, think of all the typo traffic I'm going to get

 

[TrevorR90]

Wonder what this means?Or is it just standard business practice to scoop up names.

I’m guessing Apple isn’t too worried about saving ten bucks on the registration. It also wouldn’t surprise me if their contract with the specialty registrar includes someone’s head on a pike if the domain is lost through a mishandled renewal.

As long as Apple continues to produce outstanding financial results every quarter, they can make iPhone-controlled ant farms and I'd be fine with that.
