If you're talking T2...[0]
Glossary entry:
>Unique ID (UID) A 256-bit AES key that’s burned into each processor at manufacture. It can’t be read by firmware or software, and is used only by the T2 chip’s hardware AES engine. To obtain the actual key, an attacker would have to mount a highly sophisticated and expensive physical attack against the processor’s silicon. The UID isn’t related to any other identifier on the device including, but not limited to, the UDID.
Directly contradicts
>Because the UID is unique to each device and is generated wholly within the Secure Enclave rather than in a manufacturing system outside of the device, the UID key isn’t available for access or storage by Apple or any Apple suppliers.

In cases of ambiguity, I always assume the case least favorable to the end consumer, which is the case whereby there is a database somewhere someone is not willing/able to admit to for fear of burning all the muggle goodwill to ground.
Tis much easier to lie and force someone else to prove you wrong as long as you don't show the strength you have without having a plausible alternative explanation; it's one of the oldest techniques in the King's Game. We also know this by another name: parallel construction. That old turkey shows up in DEA training materials; no need to even reach as far as the Intelligence Community/Military Industrial Complex.
