And it is not stopping people from steal IPhones as they can resell parts as usual.

The stolen parts have serials on them that get blacklisted. iOS isn't going to run with a camera that's been marked as stolen.

  • And the consequence for this is that you can't replace your own camera - or home button. Instead of a thief stealing your phone, Apple steals your phone. Not worth it. They could still track it by IMEI when it connects to a network.
