Apple Buys 50 New Domain Names Since WWDC Began [Updated]

We already know Apple likely spent $4.5 million to acquire the iCloud.com domain. Now comes word the company bought many more domains on the first day of this year’s WWDC conference. Apple purchased 50 new domains, according to news first reported by TechCrunch. While price tags weren't announced for these domains, it probably doesn’t equal what Apple paid for iCloud.com. As you can see, the list includes some bizarre names. Take a look:
