On iPhone with TouchID it does not have this issue.

Wondering if this happens on the iPad Air 4th generation as well, since like the mini, it lacks a Home button and thus will display the line when the dock is not shown and the app doesn’t make it go away.
Yes this happens on my iPad Air 2020 4th gen. too. As you said it disappears in a few seconds after opening a book, but stays around if I go into options or accidentally display page mode (or whatever they call it). No big deal to me though, although consistency would be better. Some apps hide it, some don’t. Probably an app issue.

ETA: Ditto for my iPhone 13 Pro Max but with a twist. When the affordance line won’t disappear but I switch from portrait to landscape or vice versa then it does. I guess switching orientation resets it on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Switching orientation on the iPad Air 2020 has no effect though.
