IPhone domain owners
July 1st, 2007 by 
Jay Westerdal
By popular request we have gone through the list of IPhone domains and picked out some good ones. We have seen that there must have been a rumors last year because a few California people registered some really good IPhone domains months before the rumors really picked up. I think the best terms have to be “Cheap” and “Accessories”. So I checked and both were taken 2 years ago. But what about Cheap Iphone Accessories.com, that was registered only 20 days ago and now is listed for sale at $10,000. Wow.
Remzi Oten was another domain physic with a brilliant idea almost a year before the announcement, he got terms around the word IPhone. He was playing the domain lottery. Why play the real when you can play the Domain Lottery - if someone wants your domain, you can score Huge.
Kamaira was another winner that seemed to attack the IPhone name with extreme confidence that a device would exist in the future with that exact name. He bought $10,000 names like they were candy on Halloween last year because they were unregistered and only cost $8 a name. If you know the future then $8 can get you $10,000. But if you bought IPhone Accessories.com on a hutch 2 years ago now you are looking at a lot of money. At least $300,000 by my estimate for the accessories term. This term will pay very well for the next few years, it can earn thousands of dollars a month in income and it predates the IPhone announcement. Ara H should be building this domain out. He is sitting on a gold mine.
But then there is the flip side - people registering domains after an announcement. I don’t think an UDRP would look kindly on these guys. I guess it all depends on how they use the domain. Apple’s legal team has a long couple of years ahead of it. It was behind on the trademark and now it is behind on the domains. Perhaps Apple can afford to ignore the domains, after all we are only talking a few million dollars left on the table. Apple will make over $150 Million in the first week selling the IPhone.

Great article, got me to thinking.
just got iphone-theme.com, anyone want to buy it
July 1st, 2007 at 3:25 pm
update: Sorry nevermind, i think I will go ahead and use it. Check out my site when you get a chance. It will have a nice forum to download Iphone stuff. Thanks,
iphone-theme.com

Heck, I bought IPhoneFree.org used a few months ago. I never thought so many other good ones would be available…! Well, I would prefer NOT to have any trademarked domains so I’ll sell mine, fairly cheap since I bought it at a low price and I am not greedy…
NEXT TIME I’ll be doing some research to see what’s out there.
July 1st, 2007 at 8:17 pm
Congratulations to those who had the vision to register iphone domains before the iphone!
But if they want to sell the domains, the person buying them will not be “grandfathered” and will have a new date and be subject to lawsuits or “wipos”
Is that how it works? please somebody clarify.

and listed them with Sedo with the intent of making some money for the charity I donate my time to.
Did I waste my time and money, am I just asking for a lawsuit, or is there a chance this will put some cash in the charity’s coffers?

Jay,
I got Lucky with iphonebattery.com, iphoneringtone.com, freeiphonedownload.com, freeiphoneringtone(s).com and about 10 others.
I remember hovering over the buy button for a couple seconds before I said ‘what the hell”. I’ve been a useless domainer for the most part and just got lucky few iphones. Got a new, long term strategy that I’m sure will work and a lot of that is do to sites like these–just great info. Thanks
Any thoughts on my domains would be appreciated.
UPDATE BY JAY: I would build them out, if you can put useful stuff on those sites I am sure Adwords would pay better then a parking page. If each site had about 20 pages you would have a real forest of content and would rank well. I love Free Iphone Ringtones.com so I would work on that domain. Free Credit Check.com sold for $3,000,000 two weeks ago because it was making 37K a month. That free stuff converts really well.
July 3rd, 2007 at 8:43 am
Nabbed iphoneTVs.com (not too good) and iphoneTVguide.com. I’m wondering if those little screens will have a TV guide on them and, if so, how easy it will be to navigate? I honestly don’t know. I’m not into cell phones that much, and this gadget strikes me as being particularly baffling.
Jennifer
UPDATE BY JAY: I think there is a lot of hype around the IPhone, it will take a few version and a few years for the momentum to get critical. Just owning the name does not do much. It is important to organically get listed as well.
July 3rd, 2007 at 1:54 pm
I have
CooliPhoneAccessories.com
Addictedtomyiphone.com
baniphones.com
IHateMyiPhone.com
iPhoneitis.com
Any thoughts? I think the first one will be the winner.
July 4th, 2007 at 2:47 am
Hi,
I bought and am developing iphonegear.com. I see you have iphone-gear.com but not iPhoneGear.com Jay, could you kindly add that to your list above?
UPDATE BY JAY: I left several thousand names off the list, it was more of a sampling. This is not an IPhone domain registry.
July 4th, 2007 at 8:36 am
iPhones are destined to be a smash success worldwide. For those of you that don’t have one, here’s a simple way to keep abreast of the latest buzz on iPhones.
On ANY wap enabled cell phone browser, simply enter the numeric-domain equivalent of the word ‘iPhone’, which is 474663. Add .com and press ‘send’, ‘call’, ‘go’ etc.
Enter 474663.com
Cheers
July 4th, 2007 at 12:58 pm
Jay and all,
After a few days of contemplating, I have come to realize that Apple isn’t the only company that will come out with tv phones; in fact I think Verizon has one. So some good generic domains ought to do well in the future. I’m late to this game, so the few TV Phone generics I do have aren’t going to smash any domaining world records, but those who got in early will do okay, I think.
Also, I like the word “organic,” and what you said has given me some food for thought. Thanks.
In any case, I’m going to look ahead instead of backwards. There will always be the next new thing.
jss
UPDATE BY JAY: I think it would be wise to spot an idea before anyone else spots it. I am sure you can pull that off Jennifer. It may take buying a name from someone. I know there is some guy that purchased a domain domain in 1998 that is worth $3000 right now but in the next year will be worth $1,000,0000 when the next announce like this happens.
July 4th, 2007 at 4:58 pm
Wouldn’t these all be trademark infringements?
UPDATE BY JAY: It is only trademark infringement if you use the “IPhone” mark in a way that would confuse the public. Courts have ruled that free speech is allowed with someone else’s mark. IPhoneSucks.com, IPhoneFanClub.com are good examples of free speech. But if you own the domain before Apple owned the trademark you could argue they are infringing on your rights.
July 6th, 2007 at 5:22 pm
Jay, Thanks for your encouragement; I am new at this, but I try to read something new every day about domaining.
Best, jss

Instead of trying to find a genious on Mars, what about finding the domain extention that will turn heads. Use it before others figure it out. It’s called .mobi as in mobile device. Register your name as .mobi and you will have your competition respecting you a ration more.
Sincerely

July 8th, 2007 at 12:11 pm
you left out myiphone.com. If you noticed, the iphone’s default email signature is “sent from my iPhone”. How much would you estimate the worth of myiphone.com?
UPDATE BY JAY: Depends on type-in traffic. SO, I would wait two years and watch. You are either directly on the mark or you are not. A domain can be worth Millions or $1000 and the difference is generally one letter off. I think it is a good name and the right person would pay a few thousand for MyIphone.com.
July 31st, 2007 at 3:50 pm
Great article.
MyIphone.com was sold for around $250 on ebay to the new owner.
I bought quite a few of them too.
Sold IphoneTechs for $300 last month. What you guys think?
Is it a fair price?
I think its value depends very much on the owner.
For sure, all the type-in keyword domains worth alot.
Other domains i got:
IphoneStores.co.uk (UK crowd, good one I hope?)
IphoneZones
IphoneRingtonez
September 2nd, 2007 at 1:25 am
i have domain: iphone.az
how it is?
September 5th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
With all the rumors of the Apple iCar, will you, at some future date, be posting the best of the best iCar domain names?
Or do you think that the buzz is just a big fizzle?

Jay,
I have a couple of iphone domains I think would do fairly well once I develop them. Most are for sell and some I will keep. I concentrated on the UK because most good domains were taken in the USA. The business iphone domain are killer!!! Hint, Hint… With whats going on in the iphone industry over the next year and the predictions of close to 50 million iphones being sold, domainers will reap a harvest. Thanks Jay for the insight you give regarding iphone domains. Let me know what you guys think of them! Thanks!!!
PS: I will send out a list of iphone domains I have for sale….
