Throw it into low power mode, but with loud alarm noises at random intervals... Annoy the thieves into giving it back...

I mean, if I steal a thing and am annoyed about it being impossible to do anything with - I'm probably going to hit it with rocks and then throw it in a canal. I might just lob it in the bin. The one thing you can guarantee - I'm not giving it back

Edit: Uhh, repetition it seems. God damn I need to not leave HN windows open for a couple hours then replying without refresh.

Yes, but I would probably not bother stealing one again.

or more likely annoy the thieves until they launch it into a river.

That's still a net benefit. If theives learn that stolen iPhones are both annoying and unprofitable then they'll stop stealing them. Especially if they know the iPhones are being tracked and that they are at risk of being caught.

And that's the last iPhone they try to steal.
