I have a macbook pro 13 with the M1 chip from 2021.For the past couple of days there are on the display some brighter sides and some darker ones.Last time was a certain side and today is another one.I don’t really understand why this is happening.I don’t see any physical damage to screen like a crack but it just doesn’t go away.Now i’ve noticed that sometimes slightly glitches.Anyone knows how to fix this?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

There is a M1 MBP 13" from 2020...?


This appears to be a hardware issue. Can you plug into an external display and compare your results on the external screen—this would be telling.


In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment
