Reply to comment by SecretRecipe in Apple is reportedly making an all-in-one cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth chip. by SUPRVLLAN

I mean, your phone is already full of single points of failure. If almost any other chip dies it won’t even boot.

I think the most important ones for iPhones are the lightning port, wifi, and cellular. You can technically reset or manage an iPhone with those 3. I don’t really see how putting wifi, bluetooth, and cellular on one chip is that much of a risk.

Cellular is pretty useless already for updating or restoring backups. It is technically possible but not really that big a deal.
