I got this new iPad Air 5 recently, hardly three days. I noticed a day later that the left edge of the display has gray shadows, that too the middle left edge, upper and lower are fine. The right edge is totally fine.
Its not that big of a deal, I had Tab S8 before and it was so much worse that I had to return it. I can work with this, especially as I keep Dark Mode on all the time. But still, I shouldn't be facing issues like this on such a device.
I had some questions.

1) Will this issue get worse over time? From what I know this has been a fairly common issue on much older iPads, but on the newer ones especially with Laminated displays I didn't expect this.
2) Will this warrant a replacement under 1 year warranty?
3) Any reason why this happens?

I have atttached photos, the one with arrow is the left edge of display, with the issue. The other one is right edge, which is perfectly fine.
