AOP PANIC - SCM timeout: prox (proximity sensor)
The Always-On Processor's sensor controller timed out waiting for the proximity sensor; VCC Board Repairs lists this panic as the proximity sensor, usually after liquid.
Likely: Proximity sensor (on iPhone 11 it is part of the earpiece speaker and front sensor assembly) · Its flex / connector after liquid

- Inspect the front sensor flex and its connector for liquid or corrosion.
- iPhone 11: the proximity sensor sits on the earpiece speaker and front sensor assembly, which also carries the flood illuminator (Face ID). Transfer or replace it with care: a new assembly does not restore Face ID.
- Confirm with a fresh panic log after the repair.
