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 between 4uKey & LockWiper 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.

I made a table to help you learn the difference between LockWiper and 4uKey.

Limitations	1. Can only remove Apple ID/iCloud from your device 2. Cannot remove activation lock 3. After removal, DO NOT RESTORE OR UPDATE, or your device will be locked by iCloud	Same as LockWiper
My Rating	4/5	4.5/5

As we can see from the table, the Tenorshare 4uKey is more powerful than iMyFone LockWiper.
