FWIW, I did see a weird black blob type thing on the LCD ribbon cable, but I don't think I got any photos of that. That is very probably the LCD controller you speak of.
I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the main CPU (and specifically EPOC) had a framebuffer of what was on the screen. (I'd be surprised if it didn't have any such (double-)buffering.)
Yeah, baseband processors have a fair bit of oomph to them. I've long been curious what sorts of specs they have.

In the iPhone, there's also the ARM core in things like NVMe storage as well. (http://ramtin-amin.fr/#nvmepcie)
