If these do indeed turn into a pattern Apple is usually extremely good about free replacements/repairs.
But it generally takes them a bit of time to confirm that it's actually a manufacturing or design defect rather than people who just dropped it on the floor, and then ensure they have non-defective parts available.
I've personally had one MacBook screen and two AirPods replaced completely for free because of manufacturing defects over the past ten years -- all of which were out of the warranty period.
