This blogpost propagates what I'd like to describe as an urban legend about baseband processors and main memory. The story originates from old times where even fancy phones allowed the baseband to write everywhere in main memory. The myth then becomes that you need the baseband physically separated from your main application processor.

But the world's moved on since those reports were made. It's FUD: https://www.reddit.com/r/CopperheadOS/comments/6wtul0/on_sen...

I know very little about the topic so bearing that in mind:

We're already in a world were we can't quite trust our CPUs, so why trusting baseband chips?

If it does make the design more complicated, it may also reduce the potential attack surface.
