Apple's efforts in the fight against COVID-19 should already be known to attentive readers. But it seems that our favorite brand is planning more.
Apple announced a new cooperation with Google on Friday in the fight against COVID-19. It involves tracking infection chains - a topic that is causing a lot of discussion. But Apple's press release was not the only interesting topic that day. The US blog MacRumors has a really interesting WHOIS entry can be found. According to this, Apple registered the domain "AppleCoronavirus.com" on Friday and thus claimed it for itself. The WHOIS entry lists Apple Inc. as the registering organization. The registry is CSC Corporate Domains, a company that manages domains for large companies and has been used by Apple for years.
Lots of room for speculation
The domain does not currently point to an active website. Even though Apple's plans for the new internet address are not known, the registration still seems interesting, as it took place on the same day that Apple announced the new cooperation with Google. It is therefore not known what purpose AppleCoronavirus.com will serve, but there is a theory. According to the press release, Apple wants to create a contact tracing platform together with Google, and this may be where the new domain will find its place. Let's wait and see. You can find out everything about the press release below. (Photo by digitalista / Bigstockphoto)
