No, that's not the dot I refer to.


The camera is directly to the left of the earpiece (that is most obvious). Look dead center, directly above the earpiece, and there's a dot. I believe this is the proximity sensor. Directly to the left of that is a slightly smaller, dot. After a bit of digging, I think I've determined that this is the ambient light sensor.


The image below ISN'T a 6, but it's the best approximation I could find showing the spatial relationship of everything.
