iPhone 15 Plus — sensor array 0x280000: Wireless charging coil + charging port flex

Low confidenceVerified sourceSMC: silent sensor

On the iPhone 15 Plus, 0x280000 means: Wireless charging coil + charging port flex.

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; here, two sensors are missing: charging port (0x80000) and wireless coil (0x200000). 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?

Check/test both flexes.
