Unsure about where I can declare it as a string, thanks!
enum MobilePhone {
case iPhone
case Android
case Blackberry
case WindowsPhone
}
let iPhone -> String = "6S"

Your enum syntax is correct, except you are missing the associated value of String. And your let declaration, you seemed to have strayed a bit.
First off, lets look at the enum. The syntax is correct, but after each member, is where you add the associated value. THis is done by just adding the parentheses with the type inside to each member. E.g. (String). This will give an associated value of String to each member.
Next, the challenge wants you to assign the associated value of "6S" to the iPhone member. It has to be accessed through the MobilePhone enum, however. This is done using dot notation.
I've included the corrected code below for your reference. Have a look, and I hope it'll make sense. :)
enum MobilePhone {
case iPhone(String)
case Android(String)
case Blackberry(String)
case WindowsPhone(String)
}
let iPhone = MobilePhone.iPhone("6S")
Keep Coding!
