To be honest, it 'could' change everything. You don't need to run 'phone' hardware. You could assemble a handled computer with a 5G modem out of consumer-available parts.
Even if we didn't go that far, we would get our own LUKS encryption with keys we chose and if we knew we couldn't trust the hardware, we could take precautions. They can attack apple and android easily enough because it's just two platforms, one vulnerability in android and you're into 50% of the population.
While we at it with wishlists, maybe we could do some hardware version of tpm/dpapi and manage to relatively safely encrypt the ram as well.
