that is old news from may.. "In recent months, it filed cybersquatting complaints about ipad3.com and iphone5.com, but both of those domains were voluntarily transferred to Apple before the cases could be heard." Just to today i went to apple.co.uk which has never been owned by the US giant. But now is. They must have paid a six or seven figures for apple.co.uk .. which until recently was owed by an another non IT company called Apple Agency. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/07/19/apple_gains_control_of_apple_dot_co_dot_uk/
