Apple iPhone Doesn’t Recognize New gTLD Domain Names

Posted By Bill Hartzer

I’ve written before about how Twitter, Facebook, and even recently how Google’s Gmail were or were not recognizing the new gTLD domain names as real domain names. Now today I have discovered that Apple’s iPhone email does not recognize the new gTLDs, as well. But it’s actually even worse with Apple: they don’t recognize .biz, .info, and .tv as real domain names, either!

When I refer to these companies or their apps (or sites) not recognizing the new gTLDs, I am referring to the fact that when one of these domain names (e.g., billhartzer.expert) is listed in a post, a tweet, or in an email, the domain is (or isn’t) turned into a clickable link. I know this is a technicality, but these are real domain names, and if someone is going to buy one of these domain names and use it for their website, you have a right to expect that most apps and websites will recognize them as being “real”, just like .com or .net or .org.

Take a look at what I did today: I emailed a simple list of domain names to myself, and opened up that email (just as if I sent it to someone else). I wanted to see if the domain names are considered “real” domain names by the Apple iPhone (I am viewing this email via the default mail app on my iPhone).

What really surprises me is that Apple doesn’t recognize the gTLDs. But, they actually don’t even recognize other TLDs that have been out for a long time now: .biz, .info, and .tv !

Here’s the list of domain names that are “real” according to Apple, and the ones that are not:
