Part 1. LockWiper & 4uKey Review: Comparison & Free Alternatives

Here, I’ll make a full review of iMyFone LockWiper and Tenorshare 4uKey by comparing the functions of the three software and offering a free alternative for each function.

Here is the general comparison of the three tools to help you understand this review better:

1.1 How “Unlock Apple ID” Works?

“Unlock Apple ID” means remove Apple ID from a device that is activated (not locked by iCloud Activation Lock).

Before we talking about the differences among the three tools on this function, you need to learn how this function works:

When you reset all settings on your iPhone, there will be a certain time period that Find My iPhone will be turned off temporarily (a bug existing in iOS 11.4 and below). When this happens, restoring an iTunes backup in which Find My iPhone has been disabled will enable you to “Unlock Apple ID”.

If you have a prepared backup, you can do this on your own.
