why cant apple use the serial number on my iphone to track it? i lost my phone. so if someone activates it, wouldnt the phone have the same serial number? why cant they tag the number as a lost or stolen iphone?
No one here can answer "why" Apple does anything.
Contact your carrier. They should be able to blacklist your phone. If you have Find My iPhone enabled, no one else can activate it.

If you have passcode locked and Find My iPhone activated, nobody can activate your iPhone.
