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

Mine has is too. Plus a blemish on the low right side. And this is my 2nd iphone 6S plus (the first had the blemish on the left with no curtain on the top). Waiting to return it when there's stock here in Greece and hoping that by then this issue will be solved by Apple.Is this normal?
Very normal for this model at least. I haven't seen one yet without it. On most that I have seen it is not visible in dimmer surroundings where the backlight is not that high...but becomes more visible as the screen brightness goes up and particularly if you look from an angle such as your picture.
It's quite visible on single colour backgrounds. There are darker spots also on the top right and top left edges. Also in the top left there is a very very bright spot of backlight bleed. This is a week 40 phone. The pressure point is present as always in the bottom left. My previous phone (week 38) had an almost perfect screen (a little backlight bleed on the top right) but had a damaged vibrator motor. No luck i guess...
I don't see the blemish so no, it's not normal ...
Caved in and got a 6S Plus again. This one is much better than the first one I had, although blemish point is still there faintly. I can only see it when I look for it, otherwise I don't pay attention to it. Gonna wait a couple of months and then go to genius bar if the blemish point starts to annoy me again. Otherwise, it's a keeper. Super fast, no lag. Screen is super uniform as well.

Same here. Mine is the faintest one I've seen. Barely visible. I doubt I could get a better screen. I wonder why the 6s doesn't have it.
There is nothing to be scared about. Just open the gift and enjoy. If it was purchased between 11/1/15 through 12/25/15, you have till 1/8/16 to return it if you are not happy. Don't like it? I'm sure Apple Store has screen replacements by now so i'm sure you can just replace the screen only if the blemish is noticeable.
When I got mine, I didn't even think about the blemish, I opened it and voila, no blemishes on mine.
If it's good let us know what model, week, factory etc. check which chip you have too.

I wonder if something like this would work:

or this
I haven't tried any of these methods, and I may be crazy, but after two days it's getting harder and harder to spot the blemish. I wonder if it will disapear in time.
Anyone have any updates?

I have my 6s+ for almost two weeks now. Never had it. But top was there. Now they r gone. I'm pleased with mine. Week 43 too.
Is this normal?
I had the same thing on my 6 Plus. But only on the top right corner. I always thought it was the LED lighting.
This is not even bad, it's quite good. There are plenty 6s screens with the curtain effect visible viewing from a normal angle.Is this normal?
Gotcha, every day I notice the pressure point blemish less and less (although to be honest my 6S Plus barely had it anyway) In fact, this morning I had to close my eyes and rub them to make sure I wasn't going crazy because i couldn't see the pressure point. So, it's a good thing, maybe it does fade after a while.
