The new .photography domain is live now. I just tried browsing to a known good site in Safari and the domain is sent to the search engine for a query. Tried the same .photography domain in Chrome browser on same device and it works.... any workaround to this?
iOS 7.0.4
Safari doesn't know (yet) that .photography is a gTLD. You have to type the http:// in addition to the domain name. The good thing is, you only have to do it once for a specific domain. For subsequent visits, you can omit the http:// part (as long as the domain is inyour history); the less good news: you'll have to do it for every .photography domain you visit…
It is possible or even probable that an upgrade to Safari will fix this. Soon maybe?
Wow, Really? As long as "it's in my history" .. what a great product [sarc]. Or I could just switch to Chrome or Firefox (which I did with a heavy heart this morning) do I have to type W W W . first for every site I visit with Safari too? C'mon apple your browser users deserve better. I called developer support and this bug was reported long ago. like 30,000 tickets ago
I suspected that there was a software issue (Safari) / bug. I am surprised that Apple would let something like this slide for 30,000 incidents. I think escalation is the word of the day! Thanks everyone for your responses.
I also just bought a .photography domain today and livid it doesn't work on IOS or the wife's android.
I'm also wondering when this will be fixed

Incidentally, this seems to be true for ALL new gTLDs. I have a .holdings and have the same issue.
Apple's gonna have to deal with this sooner rather than later given the release of all these new gTLDs...
Completely agree and was VERY disappointed that the new IOS update didn't contain a fix for this.
I have sent a Safari bug report to Apple via the feeback form below and sugest anyone else having this problem do the same - the more demand apple has for this fix, the sooner it will happen!

I can't believe this thread started back in Feb and Apple haven't done anything. I just bought a .photography and "Livid" doesn't begin to describe my feelings toward Safari. Firefox and IE work but Safari searchers are making me look stupid. Thanks Apple, you suck. This should have been fixed and live weeks ago. Nice 3rd world browser you got there. For a company that led the industry in product and customer satisfaction you really dropped the ball.---- disapointed Apple user (since 2001)
Yeah, it's beyond poor. When I contacted apple support via chat they said they were aware of the problem and recognised to urgency and impact and it would receive the upmost commitment to resolve.
That was well over a month ago now. I really don't know why I keep chucking money at their. Badly supported products.
Was livid before now I have no words to describe what I think without getting banned. I also asked my domain provided to apply pressure as there is no warning apple doesn't support new domains when you sign up for one.
This is a very frusturating issue especially for anyone who purchased a new TLD domain name.

Can't believe apple pulled my post because they didn't like what I had to say
Instead of trying to silence displeased customers why not fix the issues? (Question not feedback)
Seems it's working now in 7.1.2 ? Although I didn't see anything about the fix in the release notes
Safari 7.0.4 not browsing new gTLD
