What it means

The AOP handles sensors (gyro, accelerometer, proximity, mic...) while the device sleeps. AOP panics usually come from a sensor or flex cable sending bad data.

Common causes

  • Flex cable with a faulty sensor (charge port, power, front sensor)
  • Faulty sensor on the logic board
  • Firmware issue after an update
