Iphone X bought in November 2017, now there is a purple vertical line down the left side of the screen, nothing wrong with the functioning of the phone. Chat said to book an appointment they will inspect and I may have to pay $250 roughly for a new screen, what are the chances that I can get a new screen/phone replacement for free?

Depends on the genius.

most likely you’ll need to pay. It’s rare they give these repairs away now if you don’t have apple care plus.

I had that similarly just happen to my iPhone 11 Pro Max but much worse for a few days then to that you have but it went away with updating it. Not sure if there’s a connection. Oh and mine was green lines and blur
 
Looks like it’s is a decent case, did it experience a huge drop or did it suddenly just display this line? Could be a hardware failure rather than damage if it’s just suddenly appeared.
