Helix_X_Dome He probably meant that they would tell the manufacturer to add a button or change the look of a button. It's very unlikely that FIG has the manafacturing capability to do such a thing.Or he meant to change the function of a pre-existing button, which FIG (or the manufacturer) could do, but it's unlikely that they would bother doing that when they could just ask the manafacturer to do it for them.
This is getting me a bit curios as to how you are viewing the process of this production. As I know for a matter of fact, the factory in which FIG uses to create their phones will do all the necessary manufacturing that's needed, there's is no manufacturing beyond that. FIG has no additional manufacturing resources of their own. However, unlike the idea that FIG "just took some phone off the Alibaba market and sold it", they have full manufacturing control within the factory to be able to add, take away, enlarge, decrease, you get the point.
A good example is the fact that when I first saw the samples, they had a bad hinge, and not such an attractive plastic housing, and then I viewed newer samples in which the hinge was changed and the housing was updated to a stronger and sleeker plastic. They do have the ability to add buttons, and they can change its function as well. But all this is done by the factory as I know for a fact.

Well, its easy to speak perfect English when texting with super smart ai manipulated language translation. I dont think he thinks with perfect English.
Flippy If they can pay they would get Verizon approval and not tell customers to lie about the IMEI to trick Verizon into activating it
Could be they would get verified if they are able to, i don't think they didn't do everything in their power to get this done. Just saying that I've seen many diff fringe phones out there (Unihertz, something like those) that require you to do the same when using Verizon, I think Verizon has the problem being flexible with their verification.
