The water tight seal is actually stuck to the glass underneath the display so the small gap you see is not a weak spot for water ingress. You can see this by looking at tare down videos. There is probably a gap on most either at the top or bottom some might be more noticeable than others but it’s also okay because if it was straight glass on metal if you drop the phone on the metal band it would shatter without any impact room. So the gap isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Probably more noticeable on the 13 models than the 12 because of the smaller notch and the fact that the speaker grill is now at the top edge.
