@lordofjesters jessepuglsey, I'm going to disagree with your conclusion and urge you to not make that change.
As a computer scientist, I have been working with binary data for 40 years now so I'm going to attempt to explain the error codes you are seeing. Note that I said codes, not code, because with these errors each binary digit represents a separate error, and you have two digits set, thus you are seeing two separate errors, not one.

Here's how it works. In the binary system you only have two values for a given number, 0 and 1, whereas in our normal decimal number system those go from 0 to 9. However, it's much to clumsy for us humans to work in binary since the numbers become huge, so instead we work in what's called hexadecimal, where the numbers go from 0 to 16. Now, we don't want to use two digits for everything above the number 9, so we start substituting letters instead, so 10 to 15 are represented as A to F. With me so far?

Now, let's count from 0 to 15 in decimal, binary, and hexadecimal
[code]
Decimal Binary Hexadecimal
0 0000 0
1 0001 1
2 0010 2
3 0011 3
4 0100 4
5 0101 5
6 0110 6
7 0111 7
8 1000 8
9 1001 9
10 1010 A
11 1011 B
12 1100 C
13 1101 D
14 1110 E
15 1111 F

Note that at Apple, hexadecimal numbers are indicated by prefixing the number with "0x", so 7 in hexadecimal would be 0x7, and 14 would be 0xE.
Now if you look at the binary data, what's happening with the Apple errors is that they are using each individual binary digit to represent a particular error. So for the iPhone 14, they're using bits like 0x200000 to indicate an error in the Front Sensor Assembly.
In your case, you're seeing the error code 0x600000. If we look at the binary digits column, under the value of 6 we see it represented in binary as 0110. Since each binary digit, or "bit" represents an error, what you're seeing is not one, but ''two'' errors. If we split them out into 0100 and 0010, we can see that we've actually got errors 4 and 2. We just saw that 0x200000 represents the Front Sensor Assembly, and according to the [[iPhone SMC Panic Assertion Failed|iPhone SMC Panic Assertion Failed]] wiki page, 0x400000 is a problem with the Wireless Charger Coil.
So I'm not sure where someone came up with the conclusion that 0x600000 means the gps antenna flex cable, but I can tell you for certain that's wrong; it's the two errors I just outlined.
Hopefully this clears up some confusion; if I get some free time I may see about adding this explanation to the Wiki page.
Side note to Alisha ( @flannelist ):
I see on the SMS Panic page there's an error code listed as 0x500000, and attributing that to the Battery. For the same reasons I just listed, this should be the two errors 0x100000 and 0x400000 (0x0001 + 0x0100 = 0x0101, or 1 + 4 = 5), aka a Charge Port Assembly error combined with that Wireless Charger Coil error.
