#2Just tried this on my iPhone, took me to Realty.com but not before being forced through a CAPTCHA page. It’s not an excuse, but I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

#3Probably because he has Realtor.com in his history. I didn't, so Realty.com worked for me.

#5I just tried this on Safari on my phone - I was sent to Realtor.com as well. I tried it a few times and was redirected each time, even though I typed "realty.com" in the URL bar (and it didn't auto-correct before I hit "Go").

#6This has been driving me mad for the better part of a year: the autocomplete behavior in Safari is totally broken. Last year it started picking words from your query and going through your history and using that to autocomplete so you'd always go to some random thing from your history that's barely relevant even for the most generic search terms (if I type "ptrace" I want to go to a web search, not some random Stack Overflow question I clicked on two years ago that happened to have "ptrace" in its title). Now it's randomly loading other websites I have never been to when I type search terms (I searched "sketch" the other day and it took me to "sketchers.com"). It's WWDC week, so FB7333211 for the first one and another incoming once I can reproduce this reliably. Please fix your stuff, Apple.
Oh, while I'm here: trying to escape out of the autocomplete suggestion is also awful, it's some sort of combination of ⎋ and ⌫ and the arrow keys until you can get the thing to not show up in the bar, and then you have to look very closely to make sure that it's not going to send you to the Top Hit anyways.

I don't think I have either Realty.com or Realtor.com in my history and I was able to reproduce. In the video, it looks like he tries it on a few devices at the Apple Store, which likely have little history.

#8This doesn't do it for me in the UK, but I did wonder if there was a spelling auto correction happening between the Go and it hitting the address bar. Looks like a bug nonetheless.

#9I would assume the store devices (Best Buy) are locked to a small set of domains for obvious reasons.
Further it seems that it's adding an extra m on the end on all but the first.
EDIT: LOL, -10 on this post. This place is such a swamp of imbeciles. Again, this is 100% a DNS issue, and note that the majority do not have this. Verizon or some other specific provider is blocking what they see, incorrectly, as typosquatting. Guy tried zero Android devices in comparison. Probably because he knew all of the "HRURR EVIL APPLE MAKING MONEY REDIRECTING" sloths would run with it.
