Apple Inc. has been on a domain name roll lately starting with the iCloud.com/iCloud.org domain name purchases and now that they have announced several new products and features, they appear to be buying the matching domain names! Not just one or two new domain names but at least 50 that were hand registered on the day of WWDC 2011 (6/6/11).
So what are the new 50 domain names that Apple Inc. has registered according to whois data? Here is the list:
- airplaymirroring.com
- appleairplaymirroring.com
- appledocumentsinthecloud.com
- appleicloudphotos.com

Out of the 50 new domain name registrations by Apple Inc. only a couple are "generic" in nature and do not include a brand/trademark with a generic term. These were all registered on 06/06/2011, so there clearly could be more that will be discovered in the coming days.
Update:12&14 are repeat domains in the list and so are 13 & 15. (sorry about that)
Apple "May Have" purchased the domain names BeautyOfTheCloud.com/.net/.org as the set was also registered on 6/6/2011 using the same registrar as the 48 domains in the list. The domain names hold a generic whois data by the registrar.
Thank you to those who linked back to this story and shame on those who copied the full list and posted it on there site without permission or linking back!

@Ed,
Thank you! I wrote an article on how to do it awhile back, so here that is: http://www.dotweekly.com/spy-on-company-domain-names

What do you think, is it possible to sell domain i4G.com to Apple?
i4G = iPhone4G, iPad4G, iPod4G etc…
also
i4G = internet fourth generation
i = internet, income, insurance, investment, …
4 = four = for
g = generation, globe, gold, girl, growth, …
etc
