> So my main question in this area is what is the specific process for disabling or locking a stolen iPhone. Suppose you had a means to disable and also to insert some code such that when the thief took the phone in for repair it could be confiscated until proof of ownership is shown.
Apple summarizes this better than I could:
> If you misplace your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, the Find My iPhone app will let you use another iOS device to find it and protect your data. Simply install this free app on another iOS device, open it, and sign in with your Apple ID. Find My iPhone will help you locate your missing device on a map.You can then choose to display a message or play a sound, remotely lock your device, or erase your data on it.
>
> Please note that Find My iPhone must be enabled in the iCloud settings on your device for you to locate it with this app.
