What components are you talking about? Can you provide some sort of source or reference or something? Are you maybe talking about the data modem?

Yes a lot of parts. The Kernel is made for that specific SOC and may not get updated.

Then you have various parts like the modem are made by Samsung, Broadcomm etc. and need their firmware updates.
