I have started noticing this dark shadow and white spot beside it which appears only when the screen is on and visible on white background.what’s the best I can do right now...and how much it will cost me in India. What could be the reason behind this issue?

Slightly darker patches appearing at the periphery of the iPad screen are usually attributable to one or more of the edge-lit backlight LEDs failing - or partial de-lamination of the backlight diffuser. The only remedy is full screen replacement.


Given that the screen backlighting and associated diffuser are integral elements of the iPad display - and that the screen is the single most expensive component of the iPad - replacement of the screen is unlikely to be economic. As such, assuming that the iPad is outside of the manufacturer's warranty, you might be best advised to live with the problem unless the issue makes the screen unusable.

I have noticed that the similar problem arising with another people also. I was searching for the solution and came across one thred on this same platform. A doctor from India describing the exact same problem with his iPad (same model that i own Ipad pro M1 12.9), the location of the defect on screen was also exactly the same. I think there is some kind of factory defect with this model.
