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

Yes, however, Apple would not let me reserve any more iPhones after the 3rd one. I never reserved that many at a time, but had to reserve again because I got off work too late and missed my reserve time for them. :( it worked out well in the end, though. Since the Sim Free 6S Plus that I had delivered turn out to be a perfect one out of the box. :)

Three at one time or total? What week is yours? Is it a C3 Foxconn?

The Chip has absolutely nothing to do with the screens display. The screen on my 6S Plus with a TSMC chip is perfect as well, which again has nothing to do with the Chip.

I know I was just trying to see if there is a pattern. Lol.

Maybe so. I am just relaying my experiences to the previous poster above......

I also have the Sim Free 6S Plus. I keep WiFi off and LTE always on since I have an unlimited data plan and don't have to worry about my data usage right now. With a 6S Plus you should be getting more than 6 hours of use with that TSMC Chip. Are you running iOS 9.1?

Does unlimited really mean unlimited? Here in Japan they tell you unlimited, but once you go over a certain amount it slows down... but it's still unlimited! Sneaky buggers. But I think you're better off having wifi turned on as it'll be faster via wifi won't it? Plus it's better for downloading updates and larger files etc...

I have AT&T as my wireless carrier here in the US. They now give you up to 22GB of high speed data before they throttle you. This doesn't bother me since I'll never even come close to using this much even with my LTE always on.

Speaking of reservation I found out it resets after a month. Just for the kicks I checked last week and it actually let me reserve. Fortunately, I didn't actually place a reservation as I already have one. Was just testing to see.

Hey, you are right. I just tried it too, and it was going to let my reservation go through. This is good to know for future purchases, though. Are you getting another Sim Free 6S Plus, Shadowbech?

Well, I'm in danger of being labelled OCD (if it hasn't been decided already)...but I opted to go for my 5th 6S+ today. I was going to stick with what I had but then I reminded myself that it's a £700 supposedly premium product and that gave me the impetus to try my luck again.

So it's another ruddy Samsung, this time week 43 Foxconn C3 running 9.0.2
I have the pressure point bottom left, sadly more pronounced than my last two, I also have the 'binding' at the top of the screen and the whole thing is light blue all over. This time I also get to experience the joys of a super-loose Lightning port, and yet another wobbly mute switch. My last phone had perfect buttons and switches. :rolleyes:

So yeah, not happy at all. Plus it lags like crazy when unlocking straight out of the box. What's a man to do? Accept the mediocre, buy another brand, or try again? The latter is time consuming, stressful, and of course yet another huge gamble. Just commenting here that I'm on my fifth phone is a tad embarrassing but I'm at the point now where I fully expect to be given what amounts to a factory second whenever I visit the Apple store. :(

Dang that sucks. I would have just kept the previous one, not sure why you decided to go for the 5th one. Seems like it's time to make a switch. Definitely time wasting to just to go back and re-install everything.

No I don't have any plans on getting another one. I was just testing to see if it would allow me to reserve. But I did place an order online last friday as I applied for the barclays new credit card to take the advantage of financing the phone and get reward points to get Apple's gift card or iTunes gift card. It should arrive tomorrow. So once I get this one, I will return the other one and get my money back for that and pay it off~

So is it three per month?

I think so, because I reserved 3 times between 9/25/15 through 10/25/15 and it wouldn't let me place reservation after I placed a third one and I had to continually check istocknow.com to check availability and hope for the best that Apple Store has them in stock when I walk in.

But seems like you really don't need to make reservations as most 6S and 6S Plus is readily available for walk-ins.
 
Folks, stop returning or exchanging your phone because of a blemish you can barely see. It's obviously just how the phone was built so get over it. Gotta be very OCD to keep returning phones because of it. Same goes for returning phones because you got a Samsung a9. I've noticed no difference in battery life compared to the TSMC I used for a month prior. You are abusing the system and raising prices for others.
 
Or, if you decide to return/rebuy just don't talk about here or you'll get some people upset

Just trying to let folks know how ridiculous they are to exchange perfectly good phones for those two reasons I mentioned. Some people need a reality check.

Not disagreeing with ya, just saying it's probably not doing any good for people to talk about their excessive purchase/exchange habits
 
Apple has phones set aside for swapping that will never be sold so it be hooves you to get the one you're happy with and also at the same time letting Apple know that there qc is slipping.

Think it's free for Apple to "set aside" phones for people to return over and over?

People generally exchange if something is wrong, and I would expect that in 7 or 8 cases out of 10 that's down to Apple QC - not the customer's OCD. If there's a lot of phone swapping going on then that's embarrassing for Apple, not the customer. Way too many people here give the impression that they would be happy with any number of faults, and it's usually the people who get a great device at the first time of asking. Money doesn't grow on trees and these are expensive phones. Significant screen imperfections, dodgy home buttons and loose buttons etc aren't acceptable with a premium device.

I do agree that multiple swaps over the processor are silly. People should accept that they might get either, and if they wouldn't be happy with a Samsung A9 then they should skip the 6S+. Likewise people who do multiple swaps between the 4.7" and 5.5" models. Decide beforehand and own your choice.

Not taking a side here, just saying if it's never mentioned, no one will ever know

People sometimes come here to vent though, and to share stories. Are we all to pretend that everything is always perfect in Apple land and hide the bad stuff away?

I thought it was all gloat, brag, and crying, but I hear ya. Just seems like so much energy wasted in complaining about people complaining.

Come on that's not what I meant. Let me explain so you will understand. Apple will always have replacement stock so if you get a jacked up phone and want to keep it fine. Others who want to get their moneys worth will swap theirs out until they are satisfied.
