I made the initial post with info. Just get a small suction cup and place it over the area. Lick it for a good seal. Gently pull up a few times. The screen may lift up a tiny fraction but that's ok. Do this a couple of times and look.
It cleared mine up nicely. The features of your screen and the phone itself will not change or be damaged. So no worries.
Okay okay. Finally this morning in decent ambient light I see the little slight grey thingy down on the lower left of the display and then the little gray thingies at the top of the screen. They are so very very VERY faint I have to really make an effort to notice them. I'm never ever going to notice them when I'm actually using the iPhone in my normal way. When I'm texting or typing my thumb obscures the one on the lower left. I only ever look at the top of my screen to check how much battery I have left or to check my wifi and cell strength.
I just don't stare at my screen like this
or unless I'm reading some crazy discussion where everyone is doing this and I feel compelled to try just for my own perverse amusement.
But I won't slam those of you whom this issue bothers. I once had to return a beautiful perfect iPad Air because the screen resolution resulted in "dotty" text that gave me eye strain and severe migraines. I switched to an IPad Retina mini and accepted the crappy gamut problems because the text appears more crisp and smooth and doesn't aggravate my peculiar vision and migraine problem.
We are all different and different things set each of us off.

3D Touch is all baked into the screen assembly. The glass, touch sensors, LCD and backlight all form the screen assembly. I'm assuming the suction cup "fix" just lifts the whole screen assembly ever-so-slightly to avoid/remove/reduce contact with whatever is causing the distortion or "pinch" at that part of the screen.
The way I see it, this is an actual problem with the construction of the device that could interfere with the enjoyment of it by some, especially when something as simple as scrolling through a webpage brings it out.Okay okay.

At least it's not like the sensationalism over who made the A9 chip in your phone.
Lol, I do have to admit, once it's been seen, it can't be unseen! But that's only because now my eyes keep going over to it.
Well I have two weeks to see if it gets any worse. Until then I will call it "Spot".
OK so I tried the suction cup fix and it seems to have helped a little bit it looks like with the top corners problem I was having. It could just be a placebo effect. But it doesn't look that intense now but again could just me hoping
Not a backlight issue. It's an uneven distribution of pressure (too much) in one area.
This is interesting, because T-Mobile shipped my phone by just putting the white iPhone box in a padded UPS envelope -- which surprised me (I had expected the white box to be shipped inside a sturdier shipping box). There was no visible damage when I opened it, other than some dings in the the corners of the white box. How are phones shipped when you order directly from Apple?
Anyway, if some folks having this issue bought their phone in a retail store, that would probably make "damaged in shipping" less likely (depending on how they were shipped to the store, I guess).
Btw -- just to show that I'm not personally "OCD" or hyper nitpicky -- my previous iPhone (which I happily used for 2 yrs.) has a line of increased "brightness" all around the edge of the screen. I just took this to be an aspect of the LCD, and it didn't particularly bother me, as it wasn't distracting. It's because the little shadows on this new 6S+ screen are distracting in regular use (reading web pages), that I find them potentially objectionable enough to consider a replacement.
Who else has this issue?
On a white background like in Safari or mail, if I tip the top of the phone away from me, or if it is laying on my desk and I'm looking at an angle, I see a black pinching or binding effect coming from the top of the display. I have to be straight on the display for the effect to go away.
Are all the Plus like this? Or would it be worth trying another one?

I see it in bright daylight, like the metal binding spine on a jotter pad. It doesn't unduly bother me but my 6+ didn't have it.
