Yes, that is my belief as well.

Apple set itself up not just as a 3rd party but as an essential,
non-replaceable third party. There is no choice but to trust Apple for
the iPhone security.

It didn't have to be that way. There could be the option of installing
your own root of trust into the hardware.
