oh not really, as I already said, Intel basebands were ARM cpu...iPhone was using the Hexagon platform only for CDMA versions, you can check it by downloading a random ipsw from previous years iPhone models

they were Hexagon only just for few models (iPhone 5 and 5s I think), before that, they were using the Infineon baseband, which guess what...it's what Intel bought :)

btw, for the last 10+ basebands were mostly ARMs, with very few exceptions (the already mentioned Hexagon), check also Mediatek and Huawei basebands

and yes, I don't like having an x86 as an embedded CPU, but that's my problem, I guess...
