Do NOT change device name mentions to lowercase (i.e so NOT use "iPhone 6s", use "iPhone 6S"). It is described in the lede (as in previous years on WP!), and does not get altered in the rest of the article. Thanks! Jimthing ( talk) 20:29, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
What is the logic in misspelling the name of this phone? It's not the 6S, it's the 6s. Apple very consistently only used a lowercase s. Is there some Wikipedia rule that I'm not aware of that says final consonants must be uppercase? It's not stylized and marketed as the 6s — the name is the 6s. Notice that even though the page URL has an uppercase I at the beginning because of a MediaWiki flaw, the page name is properly iPhone, not IPhone or Iphone. I don't care what the pages for previous models have done (they're also wrong). The question is whether there is an actual policy which forces this name to be incorrect. My reading of the Manual of Style/Trademarks says otherwise:

For the record, I think the new title iPhone 6S and 6S Plus i s a good solution, if perhaps a bit WP:BOLD. I think however that it ought to be applied more consistently (i.e. to iPhone 6). I also think iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus would be even better. Mark Schierbecker ( talk) 18:02, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

There are many changes with the 6s: Series 7000 Aluminum, More durable display, 70% cpu increase, 90% gpu increase, 2nd generation Touch ID, 4K video recording, 12 MP pictures, Live Photos, OIS for video (on 6s Plus), 5 MP front facing camera, Flash for front facing camera, LTE Advanced, and 3D Touch 97.103.155.112 ( talk) 20:42, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Johnlyh77 ( talk · contribs) has changed the battery type from lithium polymer to lithium ion, a couple of times. He is of the mistaken belief that the iPhone 6s does not use a lithium polymer battery, but is very, very clearly editing in good faith. The problem is, he believes a lithium polymer battery is not a lithium ion battery which is not accurate. Anyway, I undid his most recent edit and added a citation indicating the battery is indeed lithium polymer. Apple's still correct and Johnlyh77 is still correct; this is a lithium ion battery, it's just in a polymer package. Anyway, I'm not going to engage in an edit war. If Johnlyh77 reverts my edit again, I will not reintroduce it. If others revert my edit, I will not reintroduce it. But if the consensus of others are that this is indeed a lithium-ion polymer battery, I will enforce the consensus. -- Yamla ( talk) 11:40, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
I have noticed sources saying things like Apple only has major upgrades every 2 years. However, other sources such as specs show major changes in the 6s. Charlie pepin ( talk) 18:50, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
No source no problem! Please find the CORRECT source for the availability of the iPhone 6S. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.0.64.183 ( talk) 11:12, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of IPhone 6S's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

A discussion is taking place to address the redirect IPhone (9th generation). The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 September 25#IPhone (9th generation) until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. - CHAMPION ( talk) ( contributions) ( logs) 04:31, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect IPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 November 7#IPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Consensus emerged that the lowercase spellings are both the WP:COMMONNAME and the name preferred by the manufacturer. A small amount of opposition did emerge around the 4s title, arguing that secondary sources have continued to prefer the "4S" capitalization for that particular model (originally capitalized "4S", officially changed to "4s" in 2013), but this opinion does not seem to have swayed the consensus.

– These phones names are named the 6s, 5s, 5c, and 4s, not the 6S, 5S, 5C, and 4S. They are sometimes stylized as the 6🅂, 5🅂, 5🄲, and 4🅂. This is clear from Apple's pages and from many, many articles about the phone. Wikipedia policy is to respect both current names and the casing of names. In some cases, consensus on the current name was reached ten years ago, but the world and consensus changes. If we did not respect current names, the Altria page would still be named Philip Morris.
