iPhone 13 Pro Max — sensor array 0x10000: Front sensors flex
On the iPhone 13 Pro Max, 0x10000 means: Front sensors flex (value from the iFixit table, probably wrong).
Sources disagree on this code. Both readings are shown: confirm with a known-good part.
What does this code mean?
SMC “BSC failure” panic: the system management controller (built into the SoC) periodically waits for a response from each mandatory sensor; the iFixit table associates this value with the front sensors flex. With no response, it forces a restart, which repeats roughly every 3 minutes (≈180 s) as long as the sensor stays silent.
Which part to test first?
Inspect the front sensors flex (proximity / ambient light) and its connector, then connect a known-good flex to see if the restarts stop; diode mode on the connector if in doubt.
