According to foreign media reports, Apple recently acquired the domain name iWork.ai, sparking speculation about the imminent upgrade of AI features in Apple's iWork suite. The iWork suite is renowned for its seamless cloud services, facilitating document sharing and collaboration. Initially launched in 2009 as iwork.com, it was gradually phased out by 2012.

It is reported that Apple is preparing to unveil a new Siri and other AI features, including those in iWork, at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June. Considering that Microsoft has already introduced AI features into its Office and Bing services, Apple is expected to innovate its iWork with AI as well.

Apple tends to use individual names like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote for its applications, but occasionally still refers to them collectively as iWork. This stems from Apple bundling these three software with the iLife suite, which includes iMovie and GarageBand.

Apple frequently purchases a large number of domain names solely to prevent others from registering them, and it may even acquire them if they are common misspellings, which is why "zpple.com" redirects to apple.com.

As early as 2011, someone specifically counted that Apple owned 543 domain names. In the following years, hundreds more may have been added.

The acquisition of the iWork.ai domain may signal Apple's plan to re-launch Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. If so, Apple may also acquire domain names like Pages.ai, Numbers.ai, Keynote.ai, and iCloud.ai.

However, the registration information for these domain names currently does not directly point to Apple. Numbers.ai is currently listed as a domain name available for sale, adding to the uncertainty.

In the rapidly evolving digital realm, .AI domain names have become valuable assets pursued by tech giants and startups alike. Thus, owning .AI domain names indicates foresight and may yield substantial returns.
