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

Wow! Reading this thread makes me feel very lucky. I must've found a unicorn because my Sim Free 128 Space Gray 6S+ with TSMC Chip (quite a mouthful) is perfect. No loose buttons, screen blemishes, dead pixes, bad hues or lag

Give your phone to this group. They'll find every defect under the sun, even if it takes them several hours.

From reading just a handful of the threads here since the iPhone was launched, I see a lot of users going out of their way to find something wrong with their new iPhones. They end up taking back their iPhones so many times that by the time they find one that they like, the next generation of iPhones are out.

Haha I think I'd rather stay blissfully ignorant

 

[Mikeyfabs]

still don't understand how you guys get replacements I can never get one if I tried

I won't sleep until I've found an issue with it.
Seriously though, yeah I'm on my fourth 6S+ and I must seem overly picky. I kept my first iPhone 4 and my first 6+. I'm not being picky if for £700 I can't get a working home button or a screen free from major defects. Some strike lucky with their first phone and heck, so have I with previous phones but I'm not accepting any old crap. Blame Apple's QC, not me. I'd take a $10 calculator back if one of the buttons didn't work.

I was thinking the same thing about mine... But to be honest I can't see the issues in the pictures people have posted either, so maybe my vision is off!

Unless the lighting is good and the camera too, these things are hard to pick up in photos.

Though some people are claiming to see things in other people's pictures, and it is totally lost on me. Maybe mercifully so!

Yeah I must admit that I can't see most of the issues in the posted photos either.

Mine has blue hints on the edges and a slight blur of black above the battery symbol. But I'm going to keep it for now. It's a TMSC Chip and everything works fine on it. To be honest, I rarely notice it. And like my iPad air which has slight book spine on one side but a uniform screen, you actually forget it's there after a few weeks. I have AppleCare + so if I really want I can return it if the blue annoys me constantly at a later date, but for now, I'll settle. I went through 4 ipads Airs and it was a massive struggle. Apple phone Support with phones and ipads is very different to their Macs. With Macs they are awesome, but with idevices they are really sneaky and speak to you in a very particular and manipulative way. My recommendation to people with slight blue or a slight blemish is that you will forget it's there 99% of the time in a few weeks, but if you have yellow splotches or an uneven screen tint - return it immediately. That stuff can never be forgotten.

It's not the consumers fault Apple's quality control is garbage.

Its not Apples fault that people have OCD either

Go over to the Dell, HP, etc forums, and read up on their stories, than come back here, and make that statement again.

Couldn't agree more with this. At least Apple stands behind their products, unlike some other companies.

As phones get more expensive people will demand higher quality from them. I'd be much more forgiving to a 300e phone than one that costs over 700 euros.

 

[measel]

Nah, Macrumors got majority of us develop OCD.

 

[teeshot44]

No issues on my 6s+ or wife's 6s.

Really? From some of the posts that I've read on here about people downloading apps just to see spots on their screen is over kill and not necessarily. Returning a phone multiple times because they didn't get the chip that they wanted is also not necessary. People should be happy that Apple allows them to do this without a restocking fee. I'll bet if Apple did have a restocking fee, people wouldn't be as quick to exchange their phone out for every little thing as they are doing now.

 

[thadoggfather]

I think we all can appreciate support and being taken care of

But no Genius Bar employee's level of charm is going to lead one from feeling let down after say, 4 swaps, with an even more inferior phone in the end.

This is what separates Apple from the other chumps.

I just bought a new 6s plus today and it has the pressure spot and spotlighting at the top of the screen. I'm returning it. I may just keep my 5s another year.

 

[vajrakagyu]

After a week of waiting I'll be getting a new replacement iPhone 6S Plus.
I hope I won't encounter the blemish again. Wish me luck!

Why would you expect it to be any different at this point?

Exactly. My week 41 and 42 replacements have been worse than the week 37 and 38 phones.

Here in Greece the carrier sends the iPhone to Apple's authorized reseller central service department (we don't have an Apple Store..). On the phone they told me they will replace it with a new one that doesn't have this issue. Soon I will know if they were honest.

My week 41 6S Plus is perfect.
