Aren't these things trackable? Don't phones have an IMEI and can't they be remote-bricked if stolen?

I mean, police don't care, but Apple could render these useless if they wanted to.

Not completely bricked, but they can be blacklisted from all carriers

I mean it still makes a great camera, even if imei is blacklisted.

I don't even use SIM cards, for security, so I literally wouldn't notice.
