Touch Screen Issue

I'm using an iphone XS which was purchased on Aug 2019.

On Feb 2022, i discovered that the extreme left of my screen (top to bottom) is not responding

This discovery was made when i was playing Mobile Legends

I have contacted the apple service center and after following the troubleshooting steps (force restart, taking off screen protector, calculator and note drawing) as advised by your agent, it was confirmed that there is an issue with my screen

Will apple conduct the repair(s) to my phone for free since my device is within 3 yrs?
