I have a perfect display. I have the suspicion that later build pluses are manufactured differently in a way that eliminates this issue. Not sure how you work out the manufacturing week.
Got a tip for us?

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

Yeah. I was in same shoes as you are. Just love my iPhone! I been hunting for a perfect slim case and I ordered Rhino Shield Playproof. I hope it is worth the hypes.
I'm currently using a note 5 and I'm by no means a light user and I'm able to get 6hrs SOT consistently, I think that Samsung phones used to be known for being a battery hog before Samsung finally went and slimmed there skin A LOT. Don't get me wrong it's still there but it isnt as bad as it used to be. I love apple products but I'm very happy with the note 5 screen and build and now the OS can't imagine what marshmallow will bring I'm not trying to sound like a fanboi I like both products evenly, and I think AMOLED used to be crappy In direct sunlight the S4 was a perfect example of that but this new screen gets bright as hell I think that ANAND Tech said it gets in the 550- 600+ nits in maximum brightness http://www.anandtech.com/show/9558/the-samsung-galaxy-note5-and-galaxy-s6-edge-review/3
Again not trying to be a fanboi I just feel that note 5 takes the cake on screen quality hands down imo seeing as you can lower the saturation in settings which according to a lot of reviewers is very good and very close to RGB.

Yeah lots of crap chatted on here about Samsungs and android. I'm neutral towards it all. First smartphone was the very first iphone, Last few years I have had android phones, this year the 6s plus, next year whichever looks better to me. Why people need to be fanboys I'll never understand.I'm currently using a note 5 and I'm by no means a light user and I'm able to get 6hrs SOT consistently, I think that Samsung phones used to be known for being a battery hog before Samsung finally went and slimmed there skin A LOT.

I have a november build, and it has the pressure point. Someone posted a tear down of what is underneath the screen, and from the looks of it, it is unavoidable. There is a metal bracket right there, and it looks like something is screwed into there.
Anyone have a link to that pic? I don't know why I can't find it anymore. I thought it was in this thread.

Not talking crap at all.
My screen on my Note 4 is completely black in sunlight. And Lollipop killed my battery life.
I don't consider 6 hours screen on time to be acceptable for a battery.
You don't believe that to be acceptable, wow. Ok please enlighten me on what you would think is acceptable battery life? My 6s plus with the same usage get about 7 on average maybe a few minutes more. This is watching YouTube streaming music, reading Tapatalk forums, some photo taking and watching Hulu, messaging constantly, phone calls etc. On both phones I don't think 6 hrs or more is terrible. Also you had a bad note 4 then.

This is what I consider acceptable.
If I had a bad Note 4 then there are a lot of people with a bad Note 4 after Lollipop.
And yes, the screen is black in direct sunlight.

Compare to my Note 4.
If I do anything on it, battery drains excessively as noted by the awake time.

You realize that's about five hours screen on time and loads of background usage boosting the usage time? I had youtube do this 4 hours of background usage thing to me: it practically uses nothing battery wise.This is what I consider acceptable.

The Iphone 6s plus' battery is very good, I should know being an owner of one. But it can get one, maybe two hours more of SOT at best compared to the latest android phones on offer. Still good, but not a dealbreaker to most.
Regarding your Note 4 usage graph... That looks like you've got yourself a lemon or something is not right with apps or software. A common problem that occurs to both (all) brands of phones.
Here is the thing. I am on my device a lot. It lasts me an entire day with a lot of screen on time. The Note 4 doesn't come close.
And that Note 4 was perfect on KitKat. Lollipop destroyed it. I'm not the only one. There are plenty of similar reports.
Yet you used asterisks to mask a word that would have been taken as rude in normal conversation.
I stated the Note 4 screen turned black in sunlight and that it had terrible battery life. I was accused of talking crap.
True. LolYet you used asterisks to mask a word that would have been taken as rude in normal conversation.
Apple basically is telling me to just go away. To quote what I was told: "At this point I would like to extend a gift for the time spent with dealing with his issue that isn’t able to be resolved. After speaking with store manager and engineers they didn’t feel like it was an engineering issues due to the Apple Retail Store stating you have to have a white screen up as if you are going into the internet to actually see it. If you can go to the Apple Store online and look in our accessories department I would love to send you something that is at most 299.99 with tax included. I sincerely apologize for my inability to resolve your issue for you."
Clearly a 52 page discussion thread in which tons of people are all having an identical issue "isn't an engineering problem." I appreciate that they're offering me something for my headache but even that was an issue, as every item I talked to them about was not included in that offer. This just isn't the Apple I used to know. Back when I had issues with my iPhone 5 and service they did everything they could to fix it. Now they just have that "we're Apple we don't make mistakes like this" attitude. Like I said, I'm thankful that they did at least appreciate that I had a concern, but the fact that they're basically paying me to go away puts me off quite a bit.

Frankly I'm with them.
Does the phone work? Yes.
Does this blemish some are seeing make it impossible to view the screen? No.
Is the blemish some are seeing visible only when those affected have to go through specific steps to make it visible? Yes.
It's a fabricated issue as much as the chip gate issue.
I had to turn on the screen to full brightness, which is not how I use my phone, and go to a full white page. Only then was I able to see the tiniest of gray shadows, less than one quarter inch, before I could see it.
Honestly. If people's lives are so charmed where this is an issue, I am envious. I'd love to see them inspect a car.

My wife's screen has so many blemishes that viewing anything on it makes it pop out. While you're entitled to your opinion you aren't necessarily entitled to tell others that theirs is not valid. Unless you've seen every phone every person has had, you don't know what degree each person's issues are to. The store that this email refers to was the same store that tried to deny me of my right to use one of my 2 instances of loss guaranteed by Applecare when I accidentally destroyed my screen on my Apple Watch, and I even had to call Apple Customer service to get them to tell the store that yes, what I was asking for was covered by Applecare. So no, what they're saying does not hold merit in my book.
You can call it fabricated all you want, but if you're so bothered by what people are saying here, don't visit.

According to you. To each his own. We don't stare at our car all day long like a phone. Keep your opinion to yourself. Go enjoy your phone. Why are you even on this thread if your so satisfied? If we want to complain about our $1,000 iPhone along with others. It's our business.
