Fusible [via MacRumors] is reporting that Apple has filed a complaint to gain control of the domain name iPhone5.com.

Apple is planning ahead for the release of the fifth generation iPhone by filing a complaint (Case number: D2012-0951) with the World Intellectual Property Organization over iPhone5.com.  The domain dispute popped up on WIPO’s website this week.

The website right now is a forum just for discussing the next iPhone. It was set up back when the iPhone 4 was released.

Apple usually doesn’t go after domain names until they release the actual device. It’s a bit odd that Apple would want a domain name this early, especially with rumors of an October launch.
