Black line on the edge of the screen

Hello, everyone. I just got an Ipad Air 5. When I open the box and turn the device on, I notice there is the weird black line appear on the edge of the screen. I didn't drop the device. Is this normal or do I need to bring this to Apple store?

Thank you

iPad Air, 15

If you have just obtained a new iPad directly from Apple, you have 14-day days within which to unconditionally return your iPad for refund or exchange. If you have any concerns whatsoever, you would be best advised to make use of this facility while you have opportunity to do so.


The slightly darker line that you may see at the extreme edges of the screen is usually slight shadowing of the screen bezel - and is a benign artefact of the screen construction.
