    I wouldnt be surprised if they had a backdoor into the Qualcomm chip that Apple decided to oddly still include in most of their US iPhones vs the international versions that come with their own internal modem

      that Qualcomm chip that apple uses is a modem, so not sure it's that relevant to the phone's security in this case...

        Modems have been used to exploit the AP (but I don’t necessarily agree that it’s a backdoor here).
