iPhone 11 has black shadow on lower left corner
A weird dark/black/greyish shadow appeared on my iPhone 11 just a day back. As soon as I restarted the device it went away but came back after 14-18 hours approximately. Restarting the devices fixes this (for now). And as others have mentioned, even I have never dropped my device.
About the device: iPhone 11 64 GB, purchased 20 Jan 2021 (hence 6 months post 1Y warranty).
When I started searching about the issue, it looks like numerous folks have faced it in the past. I am linking the similar threads I have found so far below:

and so many more… Would be happy to link here if it makes an impact at all.
Questions:
• Is this a known issue? Would apple replace the screen for no cost via some replacement program?
• If not, will it be a pricey fix?
• By any chance, is this a software issue? Considering restarting the device fixes it?
• Considering the number of folks who have reported it, why has Apple not taken steps to officially point it out and start a display replacement program for the same? Can anything be done in this regard? :/
Happy to share more information if required!
iPhone 11, iOS 15
