I'd still like to know what it is. I am not convinced it is dust. May look like dust, but I just don't buy into it migrating in from outside. Think it has to do with screen construction, something flaking off.
Ok that explains it then. WARNING. Do not press screen with phone in pocket. Sucks up pocket lint. Nervous people pumping phone screen when in pocket, who would have thought.
Market for iPhone lint filters. Snaps on over ports. I micron filters.

Not so much holding wrong as pumping them in pockets full of lint and dust. So far I have not had any dust inside. But then I turn my pocket inside out removing lint and dust. But that's just me.Translation: people are holding their iphones wrong
The fact remains many of the 6S series have dust in the top left corner. Maybe you just dont see it. Would you provide a picture with full brightness on a white background?
LOL!!!!! Sure!!!!! Go ahead and scrutinize away.
Whatever you find let me know. I've never bothered with it, but since you ask, here you go.
I don't use my phone with a full white background. Usually there is something on it, like oh.....I don't know.....the wallpapers currently use?
Fact is I use my phone in all kinds of environments and I've never had any black specs or gray shadows bother me. Maybe because I don't go around getting white wallpapers and taking screenshots and blowing them up to 100x magnification? It's like people who spend time googling diseases....there's better things to do with life.

Assuming the dust problem is real, you won't see dust specs in a screenshot.
I only provided it because it was asked of me.
Since 2002 when I got my first smartphone I've never sat scrutinising every inch of the display. I simply enjoy using the dang thing.
I'm amazed people go through so much angst.
I see some dust on that rock in the foreground........
Never mind that was on outside of my screen. I wiped it away.
That makes sense, as it's a physical attribute of the screen, not something displayed on it. I checked with "spotter" app at 100% brightness. White, red, green, blue, grey, and black. All pixels working, no dust anywhere in screen. 9 month old 6s Plus.

Maybe if I feel like it and have time after getting back from work I will take picture of screen with another iPhone. That way you can see I don't have dust on 100% bright white screen.
Yeah I am working on Father's Day. Why thou think my avatar face palming.
I think it's quite condescending and arrogant of you to downplay the issue. You don't get to decide whether issues are real or not. You don't have any issue, fine. Doesn't change anything to the people do have issues.LOL!!!!! Sure!!!!! Go ahead and scrutinize away.

I agree with you about that previous post. If people are satisfied with their Iphone, well then enjoy it to the fulliest and do not care about threads such as is one. Howevee me too I always owned any iPhone model, and this is the first time after 1 month of purchasing a brand new iPhone 6s i directly had dust under it. Never happened before, and it was no big at all. However over time , yes it does bother me. Why? Because I am the opinion that there should not be any issue with the phone when it is brand new.mwent to my operator, they sent it in to apple and I got my screen replaced. From what I've read this is just a short term solution. We will see, in case there will be again dust I will just send it back.
Show me where I said any of that....pretty sure I said I don't go around scrutinising screens at 100% brightness and magnification.....pretty sure I said I just use my phones and get on with my life....pretty sure I said to whoever asked me to provide a screenshot to let me know what he finds....
But go ahead and believe what you think you read.
dealing with 5se screen issues, now the dust in corner seems benign on my 6s plus
and a reminder i WILL absolutely not be playing swap game unless I decide to sell the phone before iPhone 7,
otherwise no friggin way

Screenshots obviously don't show any issue. You again sound condescending. A lot of people notice the dust issue with regular use as well. Please try to be more empathic.
