Dear all, my iphone x was stolen on 31st december 2021. I know it will be not easy to get back but I can suggest to make a mechanism to track stolen device(s) parts if they used with different iPhone device(s). I know this is not possible without apple support team and repairing team..
iPhone X, iOS 15
give them feedback Product Feedback - Apple
not sure how easy it would be to make a full component tracking, system and how it could interfere with third party repair processes

major component is motherboard, touch screen if they set this for tracking it will be theft protected.. and easy to track...
it is not impossible but companies want to sell part for business so they will not do this.... :)
How much more are you willing to pay for an iPhone to put such a system of having parts monitored for use after being stolen? $50? $100? More? Such a feature would unquestionably drive up the cost of products. As far as I'm concerned, they are costly enough, so I for one would not want to pay for such monitoring.
What would happen if someone actually sold their phone for parts? People actually do that. How would they make sure the parts used wouldn't somehow get them in trouble with the parts monitoring police?
You have a good idea. You do. It's implementation would be riddled with issues however.
Those likely to purchase and install stolen parts are not going to be deterred by the fact that they are listed in a database.
