Macbook Pro 16 m1 misaligned black border surrounding display

[emraha06]

hi, i have seen a topic on reddit and checked my device about this issue. Mine has also misaligned black border at the bottom of display. This assymetry can easily be seen with the flash light of a smartphone. The grey reflection under misaligned part is seen with flash light. Has anyone noticed the same issue? Is this a common problem?

also here you can find the original post about same problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/macbookpro/comments/rlv5x7

Well, maybe it looks a lot worse in person, but based on your picture and the ones in the reddit post you linked, it doesnt look very noticeable or bad to me and is not something I'd bother returning it over.

There is a thread here about the same issue. Seems like a cable or something may be running under that molding. Seems very common.

2021 MacBook Pro display trim piece

Some folks have noticed that the black trim piece underneath the display is "wavy" or appears to not be glued properly. Looks like the display cables the run underneath this trim piece are causing it to be wavy. iFixit provides a better view...

14" Pro piece under display not sticking properly

I get the humor, but this is a $2,000+ device. It's not unreasonable to be unhappy about a having a piece that you're staring at not being glued correctly.
