I've had my new Air 4 for about a week now (this is the second one, first one was bent straight out of the box). It has the backlight bleed at the same spot as many others but I was willing to accept it because it seems so extremely common. However, today I started to read an in-app magazine, mostly very white pages extending all the way to the screen edges. I then saw that the left side of the screen gets a little darker along the screen edge. It gets a little fuzzy, almost like there is a very small shadow like the screen is not directly attached to the glass. It's not noticeable when looking dead straight at the screen but as soon as I start to tilt it a few degrees it becomes visible. The right, top and bottom screen edges are razor sharp in comparison. Is this the way the Air 4 screens are supposed to look like?
Got a tip for us?

I have the same issue... just sent it back to Apple and I’m currently waiting for the replacement unit. If the new one ain’t perfect I’ll will just return it, I don’t have the energy to keep up with the screen lottery
Yea I have a hard time spending more money on a company to resolve an issue that shouldn’t exist anyways. If I have another issue with my air 4, I’ll be downgrading lol.
I have the exact same issue! Did you get a replacement? Is it the same? If this only affects a couple then I feel like getting it replaced. If they're all the same then I won't bother.
I sent it back for a refund. I have not bought a new one.
