Apple Takes Possession of iPhone5.com Domain

[ric275]

are they going to claim iphone5s.com as well? or are the s ones not as popular?

If you use iPhone4.com it just redirects you to the iPhone 4S so I dont think they bother

Big companies always stomping on the little guys. Disgusting.

This still doesn't mean they will call it the "iPhone 5." I like the idea of calling it the new "iPhone" like they did with the iPad.

i dont cause the ipad 3 is not that much news than the ipad 2.. its better but not big enough jump to tart the damn all over again...

I'm still not sure why everyone thinks the sixth generation iPhone is going to be called the 'iPhone 5.' The people at Apple would have had to be dropping extra LSD to believe they could actually make people believe it was the fifth iPhone.

Or perhaps like the Apple II, they aren't acknowledging the existence of the first one.

But if Apple themselves (the best people to know their own naming scheme and whether or not they want to use the number to refer to the generation number) thought of the 4S as the iPhone 5 because it was the fifth generation, why wouldn't try acquire it when the 4S came out? Either because they don't identify 5 with 5th generation or they believe the majority of people will refer the 6th generation as the iPhone 5. Unless you have another explanation?

Lately, (every time) when getting a boring call, I ask people what phone they use? They all reply: an iPhone

Let me know when they take possession of the MacPro2012.com domain.

Let go of the straw.

Because 5 comes after 4.

Are you one of the little guys?

I don't care either way. Whether I buy it or not depends not on what the name is, but rather on whether it has the features I want that my iPhone 4S lacks.

The next generation iPhone will be called "The New iPhone"
However, the iPhone 5 will be reserved for the 87th generation iPhone.
Apple realizes that iPhone 87 isn't as appealing to it's less intelligent audience who can't count that high, therefore, they are limiting the usage of high numbers in their products.
