Well technically it's not "all-in-one," though I guess for connectivity 
only it is.

Qualcomm (Snapdragon), Mediatek (Dimensity), and Samsung (Exynos) have 
been shipping SOCs with the processor, the modem, and all the radios on 
a single chip. This reduces costs, saves space on the board, and 
increases system speed.

Still, a working modem is the first step in Apple eventually doing a 
Bionic chip with an integrated modem.

Even though Apple's modem won't be as fast or as capable as a Qualcomm 
modem, it will likely be good enough, just as the Intel modem was good 
enough in the pre-5G days.
