Can Apple block my stolen iPhone 5 from downloading apps from itunes store if i provide them with the necessary infos like serial no., IMEI/MEID no.?

and all other information regarding the device like hardware no. etc

The phone's serial no. goes up in itunes whenever it is connected right?

Seriously, this much technology, hoping apple can block it from accessing their itunes database if ever it pops up somewhere.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.2

You are assuming that no one ever sells an iPhone. The registration with your serial number has nothing to do with purchases or use. Which also applies to your block.


There is now a carrier database of IMEI's in the US so whoever ends up with it will probably not be able to use it as a phone in the US. And if they restore it the phone will not activate and will become unusable.
