I was told by the manager at my local Apple Store that some of the backlight issues will clear up over time due to the adhesive drying. I just thought it was a load of
as the display models still had these backlight issues.

But mine has no even a hint of bleeding at the top now.

The manager is loading you full of cr^p.
This is what I thought, so I went ahead with the exchange anyway. If it did improve overtime surely this would be present on the display models.
It's an expensive pocket computer with a phone app actually...
Not true. Google "Amoled screen burn" and I think you'll find that even those screens have their own set of problems....
I won't even consider any AMOLED just only because of "burn in" effect. Why people dream about it?! Are they aware of "burn in" and colors degrading over time?

That's BS so that they don't have to deal with you especially when you're past your return period. Same BS reason was given for iPhone screen yellowing but mine never went away.
I think all the iPhone's to some degree have that backlight situation but I got lucky with mines. No yellow tint and amazing vidid colors compared to other iPhone 6s + I've seen . Got complimented too!! So they are out there people!!

So Apple & AT&T are pretty pathetic. Because the phone is BRAND NEW, I went to an AT&T Corporate store. They told me for ALL issues to go to the Apple Store. They said that they would do a warranty exchange. I don't want that. I want to return the phone, box, accessories for a refund, and buy a new phone. Apple can't help (make sense because I bought it from AT&T's website because I wanted a 2 year contract, not the AT&T NEXT B.S.) So I called AT&T and spoke to someone who I couldn't understand. Not sure what he did. But he transferred me to another rep, and of course my call dropped in the middle of that. Gotta say that Apple needs more employees at the store. This Angela Ahrendts has really let customer service at retail go down the toilet. Few employees on the floor, store was packed, etc. AT&T needs to actually train their employees. I guess I'll just go back to the store, and demand a refund, cancel service, and move to T-Mobile or something.
AT&T rapes their customer's wallets. And now they claimed that I can't keep my mobile share data plan with my brother after I got this new phone. I wish they took the money I gave them, and put it towards better customer service.

I just came back from the Apple Store..I had the same issue as the OP but went in for battery issues..after diagnostics they claimed by battery was fine but I also mentioned and showed the screen issue identical to the OP's pics...they immediately changed out my phone with a replacement. New phone has no screen issues whatsoever! Good luck OP
Not sure how you got lucky the top half of your screen is a different shade than the bottom half and the dark corners. That would drive me nuts viewing anything with a white background. To each their own I guess......
I had the exact same issue. Blotches at the top of the screen in the exact same location. The genius guy that served me was from the workshop, he was working in the Genius Bar as overtime. He said it's not normal and the that components are pushing against the screen, he swapped it with no other questions asked. This replacement is stunning, it's brand new, blue/white screen with a perfect home button and other buttons. Go ahead and swap, at this stage, all replacement are brand new but not for too much longer.
I'm pleased you're pleased but your phone has 2 of the 5 common screen issues.
I won't point them out as once you see them, you can't unsee.
iPhone 6 display is different from 6S. Don't know if backlight issue are related to the different technology involved.
Not to speak about the infamous PenTile sub pixel solution ... Ill stick with LCD.
I can't see anything wrong about his screen...
Forget about their comments. On this forum there are people that could literally found problems in ANY screen. Any.
That is what they all say : ) ..... I am glad your satisfied and at the end of the day thats what matters. Enjoy!
My 6 had it, my 6s has it. Though unless I'm on a white screen, I can't really even see it. So I choose to just ignore it. I'm lucky it's no longer lagging, it's got great battery life, and the color is very uniform on the screen without excessive yellowness.
I'm happy with the device. This is very minor compared with other issues I've had with previous iterations of iPhone models.
