As far as I know, the only thing people are concerned about is Apple blacklisting the IMEI. Even that, I'm fairly certain that only service providers/carriers actually blacklist by IMEI but some people do claim Apple does it.
I've never heard of them remotely bricking phones before for any reason.

Apparently it is out, though I haven't personally tried it up to now. Do your research on Google before attempting anything.
If things go wrong, you can buy a new iPhone motherboard online and replace it, effectively removing links to the past "device".

The IMEI number Is dedicated to the device It's assigned to, hence spoofing/changing It may be rejected by the carrier during the activation process.
That said, there Is a workaround. The first 8 digits of the IMEI number known as the TAC (Type Allocation Code) Is what Identifies the model & device manufacturer. When changing It, leave those digits as Is and spoof the rest. As such, the IMEI number will show up to It's corresponding device when activating.
