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

I have it too unfortunately and as mentioned by dL, I checked all the demo units 6s+ and they all had it to "some degree".

I was at an Apple store on Saturday and they all had it, most worse than my own unit. At first I thought it was an imperfection in the glass.

so... what does it mean??
that it comes with the territory of the new screen structure?

So this thread is certainly long enough that in intrigued now. Can someone tell me how to look for this (maybe a certain color displayed in screen shows it more)? I've generally just accepted that there may be variances in manufacturing, but if this is truly s pressure point, I feel like there is risk of damage, perhaps when giving the device a shock (light drop) that I then may be in turn responsible for.

I haven't noticed anything, but I also stopped inspecting my devices like I once used to. I didn't notice a stuck pixel on my 6 plus until 6 months into ownership and even then decided it wasn't worth the hassle of exchanging.

That's what I'm worried about, it's the same thing as the Air 2. It's not just that the distortion is annoying to look at, because it really is, but I'd also be worried about future damage.

I can't see the distortion. In unsure if this is good or bad. Good because I don't have it. Or bad because there is actually pressure being placed behind the lcd, which is not very good at all lol.

I've looked at pictures here; it seems most apparent on a white background. I loaded an all white page and fiddled with the backlight. I just don't see it at all. I've yet to play with a test unit so I don't have much of a reference point.
 
iPhone 6s Plus Space Gray 128GB here. I turned my screen brightness up all of the way and looked at all black and all white backgrounds. Screen looks perfect. No issue here.

I believe I know the issue that you're talking about. I sat on my old Windows phone and the screen had a small blemish as a result. I could really only see it on all white or all black backgrounds. I do not see this on my new iPhone though.
 
Just went to the Eaton center Apple Store, all the display models have this issue. Makes you wonder what Apple engineers do all day if they didn't catch an issue like this.

Most of the 6s Plus display models in the Toledo Apple Store also, on some it's more noticeable then others.
 
I still personally think it's just an led shadow. Looks exactly the same as the ones along the top of the screen to me, and when I focus my eyes hard I see a very faint shadow on the right lower side as well.

Like I said before, on my 6S+ it's absolutely not noticeable unless I try hard to locate it.

Are there any implications as to why it's a shadow? In other words, what is the cause of the shadow?
 
I -think- my 64gb 6S has some sort of discoloration but perhaps i'm just driving myself crazy after looking at it for so long. Could anybody lend their eyes really quick and just take a look? if you see any red in the screen, ignore it. I sit in front of a neon sign all day and it adds a red tint to anything I look at.

I don't know the exact reason, but LED lighting is never uniform. It's made up of several tiny LEDs located around the perimeter of a screen. I assume what we're seeing is a gap between LEDs. Perhaps they're ever so slightly closer to the screen in that area, making it more obvious.

I don't see any; what exactly would we be looking for?

I thought the top of my screen was a bit darker than the bottom but I honestly have been looking at these photos for the last 10 minutes so I think my eyes are just seeing what my thoughts are at this point
 
If there's someone here who doesn't have the issue, can you take a picture of your screen and show us?

Thanks

The thing is though, it's in the same place on every unit.

I do have the issue on the top, but that's something I can ignore. The shadow on the bottom left though, is something that stands out on every white page I am on.
