Why is the top of my iPhone xmax screen darker at the top then the bottom? It’s only like this on my locked screen. I can barely see the time.

Thank you for the screenshot.


Troubleshooting a Pale Screen:

Your screen is having pixelation errors. So, that means it is time for a new screen.

Contact Apple, or an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider), asking for assistance.

Darkness Inconsistencies of Home Screen:

Looks fine to me. Being that you are using Wallpaper, it could be no more than that. So, make the wallpaper be all-black. See if you get this error.
