MB Pro 13" 2016 Has a Discolored Screen

I've noticed traffic regarding the issue of 'staingate' on older models of the MacBook Pro and wonder if this still applies to newer units as my 2016 13" has noticeable discoloration

If the laptop is less than four years from date of first sale and the Anti-Reflective coating is coming off, then it should be covered. Remember this free repair program is not publicly acknowledged by Apple. Here is information about the issue along with some examples of the issue. Very minor lines and streaks may not be covered.
