Those domains and bogusapple.com, as it is used here, are identical - and they are frequently lost by their owners whenever the people who own the trademarks go after them.
As DannyBee alluded to, when those corporations go up against deep pocketed squatters with good domain lawyers, they can sometimes be outsmarted and not get the domains. But the vast majority of the time they are successful.

People get scared by legal threats from massive corporations - that doesn't mean that proper legal process requires [or should require] that such domains are handed over.
So if I own ggoogle.com you think I should be able to keep that domain and serve ads on it and profit from all of that traffic that is trying to find Google? Google should not be able to take that domain away from me?
That's an interesting viewpoint, but not one supported by the law.
Ggoogle is typo squatting. There's nothing inherently wrong with you using that domain but serving ads or having a search engine there would be most likely trademark infringements. If you had similar livery to Google then you'd probably be 'passing off' (in the legal sense).
Personally I find nothing morally or legally wrong as long as you make it clear that the origin of the domain content is not Google Inc. and that you don't use the domain commercially (in the copyright law sense of commercial).
Perhaps you can explain how a non-commercial use of that domain harms Google and indicate which laws prevent such a use.
Google wisely own ggoogle.
There are live examples of similar named sites: moogle, agoogle are domain-squatted, foogle hosts a business, etc..
Apple is a tricky word because it's also generic. It's easier to discuss this when we're talking about an obvious trademark.
