iPhone locks, explained before you pay anyone.
iphonefix.us is an educational resource for iPhone and iCloud security. We start with the official route, show the limits of every tool, and label clearly what is verified, what is only vendor-stated, and what is a scam risk.
First, identify your lock. Activation Lock (Apple ID), carrier lock, forgotten passcode, and MDM lock are four different problems with four different official answers. Do not buy a tool until you know which one you have.
Start here
Activation Lock: the official route
Previous owner removal via iCloud.com, or an Apple Support request with proof of purchase. This is the only route that fully removes the server-side lock for a verified owner.
Tools directory
Research-based profiles only. No tool is called “working” without a dated research record, and no affiliate ranking influences the order.
iOS compatibility
Which devices and iOS versions a tool even claims to support — and where its claims stop.
What we will never do
- Unlock a device you do not own or administer.
- Sell IMEI unlocking or “instant bypass” services.
- Recommend a tool because it pays a commission — launch monetisation is ads/info only.
