Mine has it but its really, really hard to see. That said I can see it a little more when scrolling a band over it in the settings. I'm not returning mine or doing anything at this time. If Apple decides its an issue who know maybe I will get a free replacement in the future.
Got a tip for us?

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

Well i looked for it but couldn't see it but then i struggled to see it on the op's post. Then i did see it on my phone. Not very clearly but it seemed to be there. I turned the brightness up and it disappeared. Got home from work and checked again under bright lights and I just can't see it any more even on a white background. So whether its there or not, I am not going to look for it and its not going to stop me enjoying my new 6s Plus.
Mine never take a beating, have screen protectors front & rear, they're in a leather flip case and I use Assistive Touch so even my home button doesn't get much abuse. Buying a used iPhone off me is a guaranteed minter.
Folks, the trick of seeing most screen defects (besides backlight bleeding) is to NOT turn your brightness all the way up. Uniformity, shadow spots, pressure spots are harder to identify when brightness is at 100%. When you're at 10-50%, it's a lot easier to identify and that's usually what most people's screen displays are on I suspect, especially in the evening.

Thanks a lot. At first i didn't even notice it but now that I looked, it was there... I'm not going to have mine replaced just yet. lol
Where do people come up with this stuff? Sometimes I think there must be a parallel universe where people are experiencing all of these supposed defects.

You beat me to it....the only place that can turn a fun and exciting time of receiving your newly launched device into absolute mayhem of reading/looking for issues.

Jeez buying an iPhone from you would be a relief for a lot of people. All that stuff on it you should just bubble wrap it and send it to the Smithsonian.
Joking aside, I usually keep a case on mine the first three or four months then it comes off. Never use a screen protector or anything like that. I just hate covering such a nice looking phone up. It almost seems wrong to keep it mint condition for the next person to enjoy.
I am calling Tim Cook and let him know how disappointed I am and that I expect the highend 15" MBP for my troubles. Right after I eat dinner, take care of the bird and get take care of life issues. If I dont get my way I am sending the phone back and getting a samsung S something!!!!!
Not to mention the box that the phone came in had a very small dent in it.
There is a blemish and as the OP suggested its more that likely a location of a components . I think most here will be interested in learning the cause.
I am surely not running to the apple store for a replacement.
Hmm. I see it now. Disappointing between that and the headphone buzzing issue. Still, I can't go back to the 6 plus. The RAM makes it so much nicer to use.

I went naked (aside from a screen protector) with my i5 but find the 6+ and 6S+ just too darn delicate. Then there's that protruding camera...
It isn't just resale value I'm protecting, I enjoy keeping things looking new. I was brought up to know that things would never be replaced and if I broke them then that's it. No replacements. So I tended to baby stuff. I use the heck out of my phones but they get looked after.
I just had my Genius appointment for my 6 and he looked at the blemish on my 6S + while I was there. Then he looked at his phone and his had it, too. Then we looked at the display units and they all had it. So I guess this is going to be a common issue. He didn't offer a replacement nor did I ask. Everything else is perfect on the phone.

Apple will never admit to any defect so don't wait for that.
Far from all having it, it appears that's some very few seem to have it. Mine does not, and I looked rather closely.
I won't look any more as I don't inspect my phones under a microscope for microscopic problems that other people worry about. When I see people list problems that you have to go to certain screens or do certain tests to see I don't worry about them. If they do not exist under normal operating conditions them I'm not worried about them.
Perfection does not exist.

This is what I suspect will happen..I think it is common and chances of you getting one without it are slim to none. Not worth risking giving away your otherwise perfect phone for one you have no idea.
In the end it doesn't really matter.
I did notice mine had the same blemish, and in the end it doesn't matter, its just a phone. IMO the OP is overreacting.
Thanks for your pointless feedback. It might not matter to you, but to many who spent over 1k on the phone, it does.
