and SEing an iphone does come with risk of going through the pain of obtaining a PR and maybe it might fail.

What do you recommend I should do?

Just file it online at the berlin police office, you can select other districts or unknown location there as well. There's less than 0% chance they'll ever follow up on it.

Can I do this if I am not resident of germany ? Amazon.de ships to different countries.

Every method and approach Is susceptible to failure.

Well, I am on the edge now about which method to use for the SE.

Also, will I be able to use the phone if I DNA it  using the PR?

With amazon prepare for a PR. Better safe than sorry. As for the method, find out if there will be an OTP on delivery. If yes you can't DNA and you should probably go with something different like WIR.

Thank you for your reply. Could you please explain more?

It would appreciate it.

Thanks

The IMEI from the iPhone will be blocked, so you wont be able to use the phone properly.
I would definitely sell the iPhone on the grey market anonymously. Dont use your real name, fake the invoice and you are good to go.
 
As well I believe that Amazon DE will ask for a PR, they acting a bit different when it comes to Apple products.
AirPods is a different story

Are other companies so agressive with blocking the IMEI on iphones ? Does amazon block it on macs and ipads too ?

Well about PR, I am not sure if you can do it if you are not a resident as far as I know.
