LTE cellular is "possible" (read: optional?) according to the specs.

They've just posted a new blog, rambling even more on dangerous hardware. Perhaps they are right about the backdoors. But even chips with open design can have backdoors, and it that is exceptionally hard to spot, I guess. Also, current SoCs have an IOMMU, which certainly can mitigate the problem of components having full access to the system's RAM. Technically, even an on-chip compromised cellular modem or WLAN NIC could still be shielded from having all access to the rest of the system.
