This is already happening to phones. The baseband blobs are proprietary and most devices permit DMA.

Nobody really knows what the blobs do. They likely have paved the way for Stingrays and other devices.

In Android yes, but Apple has an advantage here that they control the whole device.

If Apple really wanted to they could secure the iPhone. Just offer a 2x higher bug bounty than any government and things like stingray would not work.

Apple is using Qualcomm modems today. Their own chip won’t be ready until 2023.

Although I think recent iphone designs don’t give the modem DMA so it’s still better than Android but I wouldn’t consider it secure.
