Macbook Pro M3 14 inch screen issue

Hello, everyone! I have a 2023 14-inch MacBook Pro M3, and I’ve noticed some strange ink-like lines appearing on the screen. I’ve never dropped it or spilled any liquid on it, so this is pretty baffling. Someone suggested it might be caused by pressure, but that seems odd to me. I saw a Youtuber suggesting some macbooks have issues with their screens especially the newer ones?

Is anyone else with this model experiencing similar issues? My MacBook is still under warranty, but I didn’t opt for AppleCare. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Also im not in the country i purchased it from.

There's been some physical damage done there. You'll need to have the MBP looked at and evaluated.

The warranty covers hardware failure, so it will need to be seen.

To my eye. it looks like the glass is not still intact in the lower right corner.

You definitely need an in-person evaluation.

The standard warranty covers most display issues, but if the glass is broken for ANY reason whatsoever, the repair is not covered. if you had opted for AppleCare PLUS, the cost would be only about US$99.

Thank you so much feedback., do you know if warranty still works even if you are in another country from where the device was purchased but can you still go to an apple registered store.
