These are neither confirmed, nor have ever been proven, and don't deal with phones.
The first link is about networking hardware, which has already been found by security researchers long ago.
The second is about an attempt at doing something like a backdoor that never came to fruition.
The last link has never been observed or proven, and how it would work is impossible to know. Having a "backdoor" on a CPU is meaningless without the other attached hardware to work with. Some would say impossible, and made up.
