 * Speedy keep - lacking citation is not an acceptable reason for deletion - significant coverage already based on Apple screwing up and posting the photos of the new phone on its website:, ,     —Мандичка YO 😜 06:30, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Merge with iPhone 6. Too soon for a separate article for this model. Article content is speculation and conjecture. Fails WP:BALL and WP:TOOSOON. Guffydrawers (talk) 12:24, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - Some news mentions make this upcoming iPhone notable. I'm voting weak keep because the article is still WP:CRYSTALBALL in some way. --TL22 (talk) 17:48, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per Guffydrawers' comment. Plus too soon for an article like this. --TL2</b><b style= "color:#FFA700">2</b> (<i style= "color:green">talk</i>) 22:34, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - I wouldn't be against a merge/redirect to the regular iPhone article, if anyone else thinks that's a good idea. That way it is easy to restore the article when it's closer to release. —Мандичка YO 😜 19:03, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - There is much speculation on this model, but no verifiable evidence of any aspect - specification, release date even the name is not confirmed. Some sources suggest it may be named the iPhone 7 instead of 6S. One of the Forbes refs supplied above calls it the "heavily rumored i6S" and none of the three is more than conjecture. Doubtless there will be a rush to create a WP article when Apple reveal their plans for the next model, but in my view it's too soon now. To quote WP:CRYSTALBALL:
 * Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors. Although Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist only of product announcement information are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable. Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content.

 * Merge with iPhone 6 or iPhone per WP:CRYSTALBALL. Inks.LWC (talk) 19:29, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CBALL and WP:GNG: there is no reliable evidence of the next iPhone being released as the "iPhone 6S", and no reliable source comments on any details of the next iPhone. <span style="color: #3BB9FF; font-style: italic; font-family: Lato, sans-serif'">Esquivalience t 23:51, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:CRYSTAL, the article consists of a single sentence that has no citations to show it is a confirmed upcoming product. The article, in its current state, would add little value to the iPhone and iPhone 6 articles if merged so my vote is delete. — Jordan Mussi Talk 11:05, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to iPhone6. There are two things here. One is the iPhone6s that had its release date leaked, but the mere existence of this phone (possibly under another name) is presented as a fact by the press. (The release date itself is speculative, sure.) The other is the iPhone6c that is merely rumored due to photos posted on Apple's website (sources 1 and 2 above by ).
 * The latter possibly deserves a mention in iPhone6 under a heading such as "rumors about the iPhone 6c" though I am not sure. However, for the former, the lack of mention on Apple's website does not set off my alarm bells, since saying there is an imminent upgrade is likely to kill current sales; there are multiple sources out there, so I would say it definitely passes.

 * What content is there to merge? That Apple will release a smartphone with an unconfirmed name and an unconfirmed specification at an unconfirmed release date? regards Guffydrawers (talk) 11:45, 9 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - lack of content makes it pretty clear that this qualifies for CRYSTAL. Product doesn't exist, and may never exist. Way too premature. mikeman67 (talk) 15:47, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
