“or”? Was any disclosure ever initiated prior to posting this on HN? Which security communities were notified? Is there a timeline of contacts and publications?

If I'm reading this correctly, the author hasn't actually interacted with any of this "debug logic" (and doesn't even describe what it is), but is inferring that it must be active based on some log messages which mention debugging or which display diagnostic output. None of the log messages implicate a "hardware flaw"; it's not clear that any of them are even abnormal.

The report looks like AI slop. This is a meaningless waste of time.

Observed on a production-fused A16 Bionic devices (e.g., iPhone 14 Pro Max),the internal debug pathways activating under stock iOS (debug = 0x0, dev-fused = 0). SecureROM, firmware, and co-processors all exhibit debug behavior without jailbreak, tampering, or provisioning profiles.

This violates Apple’s hardware trust model and exposes internal diagnostics meant for development silicon.
