agree by the way看不懂这个结构

Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they cling to their phones， Even without a signal on a subway.

答案给的解析翻译：我们身边的每一个人似乎都颇有同感：人们抱着手机不放，哪怕地铁里没有一点信号。

这是原句，我知道 agree 有agree with sb about / on sth的搭配，有agree to sth，但是没有agree by这种搭配呀。by the way 单独拎出来是顺便一提的意思，是个插入语，这里显然也不是。所以该句中 agree by the way这里的语法结构该如何理解，后面这里显然是个状语从句，by the way 可以引导状语从句吗？

Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they cling to their phones, even without a signal on a subway.

这里，agree 是不及物动词，意思是“达成共识，看法一致”。by the way they cling to their phones，是 agree 的方式状语。它其实是一个表示方式的介词短语 by the way （根据某种方式），而 they cling to their phones 是 way 的定语从句。—— 通过某种方式而获得了看法上的一致。
