I suspect that Broadcom is the issue and people are just covering their ass by mentioning TI.

TI owns fabs. They can prioritize Apple if they want and Apple would be throwing money at them to do so.

Broadcom doesn't own fabs and the AFEM is very unique in packaging as well as fabrication. That's likely to be the bottleneck.

However, here is the list of chips in the iPhone 13: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+13+Pro+Full+Chip+ID/1449...

The chips that are most likely to snag would be anything from a fabless company on an advanced node.
