I just use the music app on the iPhone. I sync my phone to my computer and play the music the same way you would play songs from the iTunes Store or other download sites. It confuses me that this has nothing to do with offsets because it sounds logical to think that because the drive is reading the disc too early, the beginning of a song will bleed into the ending of another if there is not enough silence to separate the two. You guys are more knowledgeable about this than I am but I am wondering why else this would happen, considering the fact that I haven’t found more than maybe 2 people who have run into this.
Apples player as far as I know is not a gapless player.

I've forgotten if you've already answered this, but have you tried to play these files somewhere else (a different computer or a different player, maybe a friend's). I want to make sure that you have confirmed that the files are good, but only cause pops on your Mac and iphone.
the music player on my iphone/ipad will play gapless (if I have gapless source material). I've only tried this with mp3 files.
I'm sorry, I think I could describe the situation a little better. The Apple player is gapless. I understand what you are thinking - if the player isn't gapless, then there will definitely be pops etc. What I am hearing is only noticeable when I am shuffling songs. Playing gapless albums works great when I am playing the songs in order. Shuffling the songs from different albums reveals the pops. I downloaded the foobar200 app, and I like it, but the same situation occurs. I think the issue has to do with the actual files and not my players.

Yes. I uploaded the files to my Google drive, downloaded them on an entirely different computer, and listened with headphones. My gut tells me the issue has to do with the files. I should mention that the files are being reported as either accurate or secure. They just do not have correct starting or ending times. The most clear examples of this are with songs that just end without a proper fade-out or decaying sound. The next track abruptly begins with a sliver of the previous track audible at its very beginning. This does not happen on albums that have enough silence between tracks. I feel like this issue is being caused my drive. The files do sound mint and without any other inadequacies.

Thanks for the clarification. This is very weird. I've not seen anything like this. I've probably ripped over 80,000 tracks (many thousands of CDs) with dbPoweramp and I've never seen this outcome. These include gapless CDs (live albums), etc. And I've done this across probably a half dozen CD drives, and 4 or 5 different computers over the last many years using the product. Offset has always been automatically setup when installing dbpoweramp on a new computer. Sorry I have no more ideas for detecting the source of this problem.
edit: I do have one more idea. Buy a different drive and experiment with that. It doesn't have to be an expensive drive. I've always had 3 or 4 drives I use with ripping (some just freebies taken out of trashed computers) and others really cheap purchases. CDs that won't rip accurately with one drive may rip perfectly with the other. (that said,99% of my rips are just fine on the first drive I try them on).
