I'm willing to bet in the EULA it states no aftermarket parts or repairs can be done on their phones and something about this, also something about a human centipede but who reads those things anyway.

So lock the phone until you take it to the authorized apple service center, bricking a phone is extreme.
There are ways of getting the same result of protecting integrity without going to this rather harsh method of dealing with the issue.
