How are the DIP switches physically wired? Is there a PCB diagram to prove that they're not just a software trick?
The reason I ask, is that other smartphone vendors have made "hardware privacy claims" that have, many times, proven to be lies... such as cameras with LEDs (except the camera can still be enabled without the LED illuminating) and "sub-dermal blah blah" about fingerprint sensors (which were still bypassed with a gummy bear), and those are just the tip of the iceberg, because about 99% of all "security" claims are never actually verified. Stick a "printf()" inside the gnupg/openssl/etc prng "seed" function (the code that bypasses system entropy) to see what I mean...
