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

If you manually add those minutes up, it is about 7hrs, no where close to the totals shown (13h 29m, or 36h 37m).

Really? OK. Let's go with your totals. Because I actually didn't take out a calculator.

My Note 4 NEVER gave me 7 hours use time and 36 hours off the charger. (Unless you want to argue that there was some time warp where a day and a half actually wasn't a day and a half.). The Note 4 doesn't have that performance not even out of the box on the week. Or second. And the SGS6 edge plus my sister uses lasts four hours of use tops.

Oh my Note 4 could last 36 hours or a day and a half. If I left it alone and didn't touch it.

Fact is I use my phone all day. And it lasts over 24 hours and at times a day and a half. As far as the totals, I'm not that vested in trashing Apple as to count the seconds listed on the battery performance.

And if we go by your totals, it's still more than six hours use.

Now, if we go by usage, it is the time noted. Because it counts background usage for those apps that are running in the background. Not that I actually sat there using a calculator hoping to do a gotcha. I'm not into that. But background processes does count for usage in iOS.

If we go by background usage, Android phones trump iPhones as Google is tracking your phone 24/7.
I find the iOS stats deceiving. I get excited when mine shows over 10 hours in 2 days but when I add them up, it's closer to 6-7 hours of SoT.
 
i got a 6S+ (grey/64gb) today and the screen is pretty much perfect. now believe me when i say that because i almost had it repacked and on the way back to the shop when i seen a little tiny spec when holding it at a certain angle with the phone pressed up to my face (it was just a tiny little spec of dust ON the glass that i managed to wipe off eventually).

i'm really happy with the quality of the screen.

i bought it today and have no idea what chip it uses or what week it was made.

Does it have the pressure points? Pics? I just got a week 37 tmsc with the best screen I've gotten so far with no yellow tint and very even and it has the pressure point. I've been through and seen 40+ phones and they all had it. I'm just going to use it as a free screen replacement if it gets scratched.

could you check the week it was made please?
 
Hi there. I have been literally dismissed by a store manager after opening three units. All with the faint dot on the bottom left. They refused to sell me anything. Really disgusted after being told that my quality standards are too high.
 
Just purchased the rose gold sim free 6S Plus today for my wife for Christmas and does not have a blemish on the side, everything is just up to standard.

The day my Note 4 outlasts my iPhone you can say that Android phones trump iPhones when it comes to battery.
Nowhere close.
 
Iphone 6s plus has a very good battery, but the ratio between battery and weight is unfavourable. It is a brick! Plain 6s is less effective, you can not work without carrying a power bank.
 
Just bought another 6s plus yesterday and boom blemish on lower left corner just returned it today. I may skip this year's model. Too much screen issue.

I'm glad they refused to sell you another phone. 3 returns is more than enough. Buy another phone.

I wouldn't call them three returns. We opened all the phones at the store desk. But, as usual, you are reverting the problem, so it's the user (I'd better call the customer, who pays) and not the the phone.

You obviously can't accept the fact that 99 percent of the phones have the same defect so just move onto a different phone or wait it out until they fix the problem. Instead of going through a bunch of them. Waste of time and it's only going to force Apple to raise the price of their next phone and/or cause a stricter return policy to go into effect.

I don't see the big deal. I barely see the "pressure point" if I look for it and don't notice it in day to day use.

Would you buy a car with a big dent on the bumper? If apple can't survive with an industrial gross margin of 70% on each prduct sold with a decent quality control should change business. Pretty sure you know that iPhone is made by foxconn and they shuld comply with standard requirements. Other thoughts are only fanatical.
 
2 6S Pluses in house and none have any blemish that we notice.

Thank god I am not that anal about it.

But when it comes to stuttering,....... well it's another story. :D

I bought one this week. Has the pressure point but no spotlighting at the top. I was gonna keep it but I realized within minutes that the screen clicked and was not
seated properly on the frame so it is going back.

It's probably not bad enough for you to see. I probably could. Consider yourself fortunate.

I replaced mine today that the screen was clicking and it has minor curtain shadow on the top but no pressure point blemish. I'm keeping this one.

Post a pic? I have yet to see one without it. I am still waiting for Apple to resolve it but I doubt they will.
