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

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.

I understood just fine. Doesn't mean it's right to keep returning a phone because you think one chip is better than the other or because you keep staring at a faint blemish that all of our phones have. Want a near perfect to perfect screen? Buy a phone with an OLED display because there's not an IPS panel on the planet that is perfect.

You're first 2 images have moire in them making it impossible to examine.

But the 3rd is very interesting. That has to be the most uniform screen I've seen on a 6S.

I suspect the dark corners that are visible in the picture don't exist in person.

Very good. You're very lucky.

You don't see his has the same as yours? A colour shift of yellow to bluish except on his its more from top left to mid right. What is really bugging me is that mine seems to be getting worse as it ages and the hours clock up. I am just hoping it settles out.
 
You're right, it does. I can go back to my claim that every iPhone I've seen has this colour shift. Phew! ;-)

Yes these displays do change with the first weeks of use. Odd. Must be something to do with the new stronger glass and 3D Touch.

I have had mobile phones since they were analogue. I have changed my phone every year, sometimes a twice a year since then. Yes I am obsessed with technology. Since colour screens first came in, I have never, ever, seen a perfect display. No phone I have ever owned has been flawless. It simply does not exist if you have the level of scrutiny that I do. However I do not go swapping my phone out unless it is totally distracting. For example a full brightness stuck green sub pixel would get a swap.

And people are hoping for OLED when the only gain is inky black, near infinite contrast. I have a Galaxy S5 OLED here for work. It is bluish white top half, yellowish white bottom half. I have my outgoing Note 4. When I first got it, I measured the white balance as 6600K (good). A year on, the white balance has shifted to 7400K. This is due to the uneven ageing of the OLED pixels. It isn't burn in that you can see, but OLEDs constantly change. The only way to avoid this is the LG OLED concept which uses all white OLEDs with a colour layer over the top of it. Then all sub pixels age linearly. Samsung OLED has the individually pigmented sub pixels all ageing differently.

Samsung vs tmsc is not a defect and yes a blemish is a defect so worthy of an exchange but since most phones have it better to wait and see if it gets resolved.
 
I have received my week 43 Samsung 6S+ 64 yesterday evening. I'm happy to report theres no blemish. So, I would say the factory did something to fix this during the week 43.

I am glad to hear you had the same success as me with the week 43. On the other hand, my first week 43 I had before the one with no blemish it had this on both left and right and was very pronounced. I forget which factory that one was but it does seem that the process was changed at some point in week 43 and there are some good ones out there.
 
I just got a replacement for my 6S+ due to a headphone jack issue. The old one definitely had it, though it was slightly. The new one has it, but even less pronounced. If I had gotten the one I have now, and I had never read this thread, I most likely would never have noticed it.
 
I was given a week 37 phone yesterday as a replacement. New one still has it, although less pronounced. They did a test on the old one and found it was worse than we could even see. I'm going to wait a few months until they can do direct screen replacements as I've been able to remain with TSMC chips on all 3, then go in and get the screen swapped. I just think that'll do the trick better than anything.

EDIT: This is my 3rd phone.
 
I received my replacement iPhone 6S Plus yesterday. Week 41 (previous one was week 40) again with Samsung manufactured A9. It's nearly perfect with a very hard to see light blemish down at the left corner. Previous one was much more distinct. So I guess it's a keeper and if it deteriorates in time, I will replace it then. Can't live another 10 days with out my iPhone.

Looks like a keeper judging from the pictures. Only thing is the slight shadowing at the top which I think this year you will find to some degree on every phone whether its on the top, sides, corners etc.

Your screen looks perfectly fine. I don't know why you would even want to replace it.
