iPhone 7 — : Ambient light sensor, rear microphone

Low confidenceVerified sourceAOP coprocessor

On the iPhone 7, means: Ambient light sensor, rear microphone (noise cancellation), power flex (7 Plus) or Touch ID flex.

What does this code mean?

Generic Always-On Processor panic. REWA cites the light sensor, the noise-cancelling microphone near the rear camera, the power flex (iPhone 7 Plus) and the fingerprint flex as suspects; read the rest of the message to narrow it down.

Which part to test first?

Read the text following “AOP PANIC” (Bosch, No pulse…); failing that, test by disconnecting the listed flexes one by one.
