I have noticed a series of small white lines/marks at the bottom of my iPhone 13 Pro Max’s screen. If I press on & wipe the screen with a lens wipe, they appear to go away, only to return. As anyone seen anything similar?

Have you tried 70% rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip. It might come off using that.
I’ve now tried an alcohol wipe & it as the same effect as the lens wipe. It temporarily disappears so, it would seem that what’s happening is the solution is filling a void & once it dries, it becomes visible again.
 
Looks like an overzealous frame gap. But can’t be if it goes away when wiped.
I think you’re right about a gap, if you see my post above, the cleaning solution is filling the void & once it dries, back it comes.

It definitely wasn’t there when I bought the phone so, it’s opened up over the last couple of months - I’d say the last week.
