.mobi is the generic top-level extension that was launched in 2006, at the dawn of the mobile internet. It was designed for websites that are primarily accessed via mobile phones.
It remains a fitting choice today for websites showcasing mobile apps, mobile-optimised services, and online shops selling mobile phones and accessories. As it is a long-established, well-known extension, most users are familiar with it.
