How to address a vertical line on Mac screen under warranty?

I have had my Mac for 4 months, and I haven’t done anything wrong with it. I am very careful with it. When I opened it today, I suddenly noticed a line on the screen. I have also seen several people on TikTok with the same problem. Could you please let me know if this is covered by the warranty?

Take it to an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider to be examined. Only Apple or an AASP can determine whether the issue can be covered by the warranty. Generally if there are no signs of accidental damage, then it should be covered, but if there is a dent on the corner it will likely be considered accidental damage. Again, only Apple or an AASP can say for sure.
