Mines is not due here for a couple more weeks (launch day order, I can't believe it either), I am sure someone will be along shortly to give you a more definate answer.
Personally, I would take it to the store to get checked out. Have a look at the display models while you are there.

Wow that’s really a long wait… but it’ll be worth it 😉 thanks, I will do!
I don’t have that on mine. It probably doesn’t matter but if you really care you should return it and get a new one.
Yeah I think so. I’m going to go return it, it’s an expensive phone…
It’s definitely a defect. I would probably return it. However, you won’t be able to get another for 4-5 weeks. I attempted to exchange mine for a different reason (the screen dims and goes black within 10 seconds- possibly sensor or software-related). They didn’t have any extra set aside for exchanges.
Okay I will do. I’m from South Africa and it came out yesterday. So there’s available stock of mine, so I should get a replacement in a couple of days.
Lucky you! After looking at it more, it could be glue. My old 11 pro max looks similar.
There's already a thread about this.

Would this be classified as a defect where I would be able to get a replacement? I have already passed my two weeks so I’m not exactly sure if I have leverage in a replacement.

I don't have a 13 Pro, so I can't speak to that issue, but I'm very intrigued by the design of that Software Update page! That title is massive, I love it!
Is that a 13 thing?
I have a very small gap on mine too. Can only see it while looking for it in certain light. Not an issue in my opinion
Just received my iPhone 13 Pro Max today. It seems like it’s the same. Don’t know if it is a defect? And if I should replace?
Posted in a similar thread…
Update:
I went to the apple store today to have a genius check out the gap… both he and apple support agreed that it was a defect in manufacturing and offered to replace it.
So I turned in my 1TB SB iPhone for a 512gb SB… it only took 5 hours (that’s a whole story!).. but I am happy since the replacement is PERFECT!!!!
I hit the Jackpot, 1 in 2 phone attempts!!
sooooooo if you dont give 2 ****s, then god bless you!!
BUT if you’re OCD like me , and the gap above the notch glares at you like the broad side of a barn, and are within your 14 day return window, don’t hesitate to try and replace it!!!
The gap is NOT fine…
New notch vs old notch:

Yup. That’s how mine looked! I went back and forth over whether it would be worth the genius appt. I’m glad I kept it!! Replaced with a proper version!
