If the iPhone's IMEI shows up the device was previously flagged as stolen or missing, Apple technicians will decline to repair it.
, which will reportedly make Apple technicians decline to fix iPhones that were reported as stolen or lost. Technicians will have to check your device's IMEI before accepting it for service.Okay, it seems Cupertino has sent out a memo to Apple Stores and other authorized Apple providers to not accept a device for repairs if their internal MobileGenuis or the so-called GSX system show the phone has been marked as missing.
But... what is exactly this GSMA registry, you may wonder. Well, this is a global database where owners can register their devices' IMEI number and set a status for it: such as lost, stolen, fraudulently obtained. This memo is not very surprising for those of you who know that Apple already has the policy to decline repairs for iPhones in cases that the customer can't disable the Find My iPhone feature. This is basically set in place to discourage people from buying second-hand iPhones from outside of official and authorized sources: you know, doing that may make you end up with a stolen unit that was sold to you.
