I don't think "iphone 6S" really is a good name for a phone. 4S and 5S were okay, but the pronunciation of the 6 makes the S sound messy.

What do you think? Will Apple call it something else?
 
Say 6S over and over and it's the iPhone SUCCESS!

Please don't do it apple!

Just like the "NEW IPAD" (ipad 3). =)
 
Well it is better than S4 or S6. I get sick of people thinking I am talking about Samsung phones, when in fact I am talking about my cars 😉 .

I think it's safe to say that this will be the 6S. I'm not all that sure on'7' though, I think that's when we may see a change to Air or maybe even just 'iPhone"
 
6(S) sounds fine to me, actually better than 5(S) or 4(S).

The problem for me lies in 6 Plus (S) or 6 (S) Plus; that sounds just awful. In another thread, someone mentioned that Apple could drop the current 6 Plus and only keep the new generation alive as a flagship model. This could be interesting when combined with the awful potential name.
