the seller can just report it stolen. it has nothing to do with apple having or not having access to the IMEI blacklist.

unless i'm wrong here.

seller reports stolen phone to any carrier and that carrier will blacklist the imei which is shared amongst canadian carriers

I know that people that are selling their carrier locked phones can simply call in and say their phone was lost/stolen and the IMEI would be blocked. Does such a thing like that exist if the person bought the phones contract free from Apple?
Some ppl purchase insurance on their phones and when it is stolen they get a new one from the insurance company. Kinda of like double dipping selling you the phone, report it stolen, gets your money and gets a new phone.

I am using 8.0.1 on my 5s and so far no major issue. In fact battery life is about the same when i am using ios 7.

or the phone was signed on a contract thru fraud and after 3 months or less the phone will be blacklisted amongst all canadian provider. The imei blacklist have nothing to do with apple they don't provide the wireless service. once your phone is blacklisted good luck getting it unlocked to sell to another country if u can no longer use it. so better apple store than buy a locked phone.

I had the iphone5 all black when it first came out but the shitty thing with it was the paint would come off too easily which was a huge downside to the device...

This is actually what the rogers rep at RC told me to do when i got my 5.

buy their insurance, sell when new release comes out, then report stolen/lost and get new device from insurance company, then sell the brand new sealed phone and pay for the new release.

knowing karma would come back at me if i did that, i just decided to give my 5 to my gf lol
