PSA: if you try to partition an M1 mac with Disk Utility, it works, but it breaks recovery mode. Presumably the bootloader hardcodes that recovery is partition #3... instead of using GPT partition type codes as it should. Deleting the partition fixes it...

I hope I'm mistaken and it's not the same thing, but this has also happened with me on x86 macOS as well for some reason ...

Yeah, I've only realized this too late. The bootloaders are totally different on the M1 (iBoot derivative) vs. x86 (Apple EFI)

As far as I can tell the startup options menu on M1 macs is just... macos recovery already. A fullscreen app pretending to look like the old UEFI boot picker.

What exactly happens if you mess up and brick the device? Reflash via apple configurator like the dev kits?

Yup. DFU mode, just like an iOS device.

Replying to @marcan42 @erenatass and
Yes, iBoot on Apple M1 Macs has no UI, the Boot Picker is an app running in the recovery OS.
