SOCD report detected: (iBoot async abort)

Almost new 2025 M4 MacBook Air was left in hibernation, plugged in, with the lid closed for about 48 hours. Upon opening the lid was greeted with a reboot screen, and the following error: "SOCD report detected: (iBoot async abort)." No further details.


Rebooted and ran the diagnostic tool. Returned an ADP000 result, indicating no hardware issues.


Was running Sequoia 15.7.1 at the time of the error. Have now updated to 15.7.3 security update. Will not be updating to Tahoe until specific software vendors confirm compatibility.


I cannot remember which applications were open prior to closing the lid. Likely just Safari with a YouTube tab, Creative Cloud (running in background), boringNotch, and possibly a few other native applications (Notes or Reminders.)


No external drives or devices connected at the time. Just the mag charge cable. No drops, impacts or water ingress that I am aware of.


Room was slightly on the cooler side, as I was away from the home, but could not have dipped much below 15*C. Not aware of any power interruptions or surges during this time either.


Should I be concerned? Is it worth visiting a repair centre without a way to replicate the issue? I am under the impression that this error can indicate a hardware fault (logic board or otherwise), but the diagnostic returned no discernible errors.

MacBook Air 13″

About this iBoot Error:

It’s a hardware error. If it goes away, then ignore it. If it comes back a second time, then see about getting it serviced.
