I remember asking a (seemingly smart) guy advocating for PinePhone (or was it Purism Librem? don't remember) on a forum: "Secure and privacy-friendly, you say? Does it even allow IMEI editing?"

The answer was: "No, but why would you want to ever do this?"

Facepalm.

Guys, being able to kill the radio power on the hardware level doesn't mean the phone is privacy-friendly. Being able to fully change your network identification (while the radio is off) does. Being able to fully kill the power to every module (preferably by quickly removing the battery) does. I don't wish anyone to end up in a situation where they would actually need to do this, but at least trust someone who did.
