Doesn't look like there is too much going on in that general area.

Will the 'pressure point' blemish on the 6S Plus be addressed in a hardware revision?

Actually looks like a couple of clips and a screw in that area. Worth a look. I might check it out myself

but when you pull the screen out, there's the adhesive stuff..
when you put it all back, won't you lose some of the dust and water resistance?
look at the video, they pull out the screen, there's some rubber stuff that maybe helps the sealing.
or maybe i'm totally wrong.
6s Plus - 128GB Space Grey, built at Foxxon Shenzhen, no issues at all.
You all can say whatever you want about being more OCD etc., but I have seen that issue on other LCDs before and mine just does not have it. I've looked at multiple angles different lighting and it's not there.
With all the talk of demo units having this, I wonder if this is an issue with preproduction/first run models.
Mine was built week 38, so the week before launch.
Why don't you all compare build weeks and factories.

Was thinking on similar lines...I wonder if there is a pattern on factory where it was built. Mine original was a week 38. I have a replacement that should ship today (another issue) although mine had this problem.
I wouldn't go separating the display components. Aside from invalidating your warranty you may end up damaging something. It's one thing taking the cover off to get to the battery but another thing entirely to dismantle the display. Face it, these displays are cheap and they're mass produced. It seems to be a bad batch that we've all got.
Was that just the Plus model or are the 6S affected too?
It makes me wonder when people say their displays are fine because I haven't seen a 6S+ without the smudge at the lower left side. That's four in the Apple store plus my own. I didn't think to check the 6S.
I'm sure that there are tons of perfectly good 6s+ models out there but the fact that so many stores have defective display models and an alarming number of people won't notice it. Even the employees in the Apple Store didn't seem to care that the many of the display models were defective.
White background, screen brightness up etc? Mind you, I can see mine with the screen dimmed. As the rest of my phone is top-notch I really don't want to swap it for a phone with the exact-same smudge on the display plus a whole host of other potential faults...
White background. Check. Screen brightness at max. Check. Nothing to see here. Screen is perfect.
To be honest, it's hard to see and you won't ever notice it unless it's pointed out. I didn't. I can barely see it when dim but it's there. I have to look hard. Plus it seems to go away at times. Not an issue for me.
I don't have the spot during normal use, but if I squeeze my phone across the width (not pressing the screen/back but gripping it tightly) I can create a spot in that exact location
Hmm. Sounds like something is pinching the screen. If anyone can confirm this rubber/adhesive thing for me I would be up for cracking open my phone.
