INSTALLATION & WHATS INCLUDED

Installation of MacCleaner Pro 2 is simple, just drag and drop the icon(application) inside the .dmg file to your Applications folder and you’re done. Now enter your serial for the the Pro version and your Swiss Army knife is ready for use.

MacCleaner Pro 2 interface is great and makes any job easy to understand and perform. Most included tools are separate applications which are launched at command. Its worth mentioning, that two included FREE tools ” Funter and Memory Cleaner ” are used by us as a standard feature for our Macs.
Both work great and are useful additions for your daily routines. MacCleaner Pro 2 interface is great and makes any job easy to understand and perform.

Its worth mentioning, that two included FREE tools ” Funter and Memory Cleaner ” are used by us as a standard feature for our Macs.
Both work great and are useful additions for your daily routines.

MacCleaner Pro 2 review 1

App Cleaner & Uninstaller Uninstall apps completely. Manage system extensions.	Funter Find and show hidden files.	Memory Cleaner Optimize memory usage.
Duplicate File Finder Organize & Remove duplicates.	Disk Expert Analyze disk space usage. Find the biggest folders.

As mentioned you’ll notice that MacCleaner Pro 2, is not an all in one application rather a container for all standalone applications. Its main advantage over the standalone applications is its pricing and Central-Toolbox look and feel. Choose any of the tools available and you’re presented with a menu to choose any action desired.
It all works wonderfull smooth and best interfaces found on similar applications on the internet. As you probably found surfing the internet, there are lots of applications to choose from as this Swiss Army knife consists of popular tools. So which will be your best buy, and give you most ‘bang’ for your money?
Thats why reading reviews is important or try the free applications and find out yourself if it serves your needs. I feel any of the included tools is at the top of what’s available on the internet, as we’ve reviewed Nektony’s AppCleaner & Uninstaller Pro recently and gave it top marks for its performance.

TOOLBOX CONTENT

Check the separate snapshots of all included tools and their action menu listing. Our favourite applications are the AppCleaner & Uninstaller Pro , Duplicate File Finder Pro and the Free included tools Funter and Memory Cleaner which are all our default tools used. The provided Expert Mode for the included tools give you far more control of files you wish to keep or delete. Mind you, be careful as you always should be when you are about to delete files. You need to know your stuff when it comes down to deleting files or objects.

WHY WE NEED A DUPLICATE FILE FINDER

Every music and photography entousiast (and others) will face a lot of duplicate or simular files cluttering their drives, as experimenting and tryouts with images or music is one of my passions. I guess there’s more people like me, spending hours and hours perfecting our favorite photo’s or edited music compilations. People like me get warnings from iCloud, that their storage is full and needs upgrading. All because the latest Catalina version syncs our desktops with iCloud. So in order to avoid iCloud problems, I copy the folders to an external NAS where loads of partitions get stuffed with ‘Folders in Progress’, I call them. In the end, I end up with numerous folders with identical or nearly same files. At times we need to sweep the disks in order to keep things fairly clean, and use the diskspace for new data. Nektony created a nice application Duplicate File Finder Pro ( or Free ). This application helps to remove duplicates in just a few minutes or hours depending on the amount of data to be searched.
Duplicate File Finder scans your Mac hard drive or external drives to find identical files and folders. It searches equal files by type, name, count, and size. You can separately view and delete duplicate photos, videos, music, documents, or all types of duplicates from your Mac. Duplicate File Finder also helps you to detect similar folders, which have both equal and unique files and merge them to free up storage space on your disk. Besides that, Duplicate File Finder detects similar photos in order to ease the selection of the favorite pictures you want to keep on your computer. This application is easy to use and it provides a “how to use” guide for new users. A free version is also available, but I feel the Pro version with its bonus features will not withhold too much, for its pricing.

DO WE NEED AN UNINSTALLER

Main question for any software application is , if we really need the application or can we do without ! I guess our readers know all about Mac maintenance and the need for antivirus and some neccesarry utilities like Nektony’s App Cleaner & Uninstaller. Running a Mac like any computer and being glad it is a bit Unix based, our system gets loaded with applications and smaller utilities. Our Mac’s have NO real system maintenance build-in, so we rely on third party software like CleanMyMac which includes an uninstaller function, or this unknown to me piece of software typically designed to just remove installed files and leftovers.

Unlike Windows, where the user should not use their computer as a ‘testing-machine’ if they want to keep using it as a responsive system, our Mac’s are more Unix based and less sesitive to system faillure due to lost files or worse. That said, our Mac’s do like Windows gather a load of system/applications files which at some point become obsolete when it is not longer needed.
Unlike Windows our Mac’s store files only in a few folders and don’t spread files around in your complete system, but still applications create some folder entries like .plist files and launch files etc. In case you wish to delete an older or unused application, it should delete not only the main application but also all related files no matter where they ‘hide’ in your Mac’s system. This is where we need help of utilities like Nektory’s App Cleaner, which keeps track of any file-relation ! Even though some application come with their Uninstall-Tool, some files get leftover and may cause problems at some point.
If you ever tried different Antivirus programs, you may have faced issues the installation program complaining of detecting an earlier version of some antivirus program conflicting the installation. You now need to search (if you know where to look), and delete the conflicting files.

SEPERATE TOOLS INTERFACES

Below you’ll see the interfaces of the 3 main Tools included. The Funter and Memory Cleaner are located at your menubar at the top of your Mac’s screen. Funter is able to be part of your Finders interface and therefore accessible from its top menu-bar. Great job, as its not often these days we get anything for Free which also works great.

Both AppCleaner & Uninstaller , Duplicate File Finder applications scored maximum points . Both deserve a place in your private Toolbox, thus making this offered Toolbox a Premium kit at a bargain price. Comparing MacCleaner Pro 2 to CleanMyMac X, I feel this toolbox is much more sophisticated at its main tools and options available . It would become the best selling product if Nektony is able to included a virus protection tool running the same algorithm as Bitdefender. Still this may never be the makers desire, just to please me.

VERDICT

Time for our conclusion of this great Toolbox. Nektony’s MacCleaner Pro 2 toolbox is a definite winner in every aspect. It provides best of both worlds having a great interface providing an outstanding action-menu and having the best applications available for its tricks and solutions. Just to be honest I feel this application should be in every Mac users ‘ private Toolbox at default ‘, you just can’t go wrong with MacCleaner Pro 2, period !

iBeesoft Data Recovery Mac review

Posted on19 May 202013 February 2021Leave a comment

Version 3.6	Developer iBeesoft
Website iBeesoft.com	Buy iBeesoft Data Recovery

ABOUT iBEESOFT

iBeesoft, established in 2015, is a professional Windows data recovery, Mac data recovery, iPhone data recovery, Data Backup and file shredder software provider. First created by two creative and enthusiastic programmers, the team is now composed of a group of highly-skilled young talents who commit themselves to providing better products and service for users.

PREFERENCES

iBeesoft Data Recovery for Mac has no specific preferences-menu available, but a to recover file-types choice at its main/home page. Just select your choice and press the large not to miss START button and you’re on your way.

INTERFACE

The main-interface is nicely done, presents choice for file-types to be recovered, but no choice for folders to be scanned. Infact I have not found yet a recovery program taking you straight to just a folder of your choice. Cisdem does a better job in terms of interface ( shown below) as you may want to recover deleted files/folders or from formatted partition/device. iBeesoft also shows the available devices but not as straightforward like Cisdem. iBeesoft Data Recovery is a one-step recovery utility. The second screen with a devices overview is somewhat cluttered and you need to watch carefully if you want to make a selection. Again Cisdem has a more minimalistic approach to provide the same information in an clear interface. Maybe this is personal taste, but the best interface should also work for novice users. This doesn’t mean iBeesoft software is not at Cisdem’s or iBoysoft (simular approach as iBeesoft) level, but I do prefer cleaner interfaces.

HOW DOES IT WORK

Lets use the analogy that your device is a book, and the blocks of the hard disk/SSD are the the pages of the book.
Naturally, your data would be the text contained in the pages of the book.

Now consider a flag – 0 or 1, indicating whether a page of the book is empty or is occupied by some text. The net ‘free capacity‘ of your hard drive is empty is the sum of the block sizes of the pages which are marked as 0 (empty). Makes sense, right?

Firstly, let us understand what happens when you delete a file. Does it vanish in thin air?

The answer is NO. The file never gets deleted, but what happens is that the pages of the book which contain the data of the file are now marked with a 0, thus designating the space that the file is using as being available for future use when needed. It is no longer ‘accessible’.

N.B. The deleted data is still there, but you have indicated that you are not concerned about it, since you have deleted it. In course of time, the data in this space can be overwritten by other files, and thus compromising the original file that you had you deleted and intend to recover.

So now, how does the recovery software work?

In layman’s term, data recovery software scours the hard drive to look for the pages marked with 0’s to locate any recoverable data, piecing it back together and providing it in a salvageable format. While deleted files are inaccessible and are in danger of being overwritten, they can often be recovered with professional data recovery tools.

N.B. No Data Recovery software is perfect: if a file has been partially/wholly overwritten or otherwise compromised, recovery chances are low. But if it hasn’t been too long since you deleted the file, the chances of complete recovery are pretty good!

NEED TO DISABLE SIP ?

macOS 10.13, 10.14, 10.15 and later macOS is using the new file system – Apple File System (APFS). It doesn’t allow any application to access to the system hard drive (the hard drive where the macOS is installed). So, no data recovery software can directly scan the system hard drive (also called startup hard drive, boot hard drive, Mac HD, etc) under macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later macOS. If you want to recover lost data from the system hard drive in APFS, you should disable System Integrity Protection (SIP) first and then run the data recovery software.

IF you run Catalina on your Mac, you need to disable SIP depending on the source to recover:

Here’ how to disable Apple integrated System Integrity Protection (SIP)

https://www.doyourdata.com/mac-data-recovery/steps-recover-data-from-system-hard-drive-in-apfs.html

SPEED

Judging speed of scan-time we need to consider the scanning process involved:

– Normal Scan
– Deep Scan

When do you need a deep scan recovery.

When your disk or drive is recognized as RAW or when you want to find more files, the deep scan is necessary. What is a RAW recovery? Data recovery tools usually rebuild lost files in two ways. One is the fast and easy way to locate the files via file directory info. The scan result will be listed in a file tree with the original file name and attributes.

The other is RAW Recovery, which will search and re-create the file directly by searching all Data Field. It requires more time to go through all sectors on a partition. The recovered file will be assigned a new name like FILE001 and all sorted by file types in the “Tags” and “RAW” folder. When the file directory is corrupted, there’s no method to recover files with the right file names and data content. So you need to check the files found by RAW Recovery in order to recover lost data.

Our speed and number of recovered files test proved iBeesoft a solid performer. iBeesoft offered a Deep Scan after a first run, not finding many files, the Deep Scan recovered all deleted files. In terms of scan-time, iBeesoft Data Recovery proved fastest compared to Cisdem, iBoysoft and Stellar. Check the graph below to see differences between applications results.

Scan-Time. is at best with iBeesoft ( Deep-Mode ) and worst with Stellar Data Recovery in Deep-mode. Scan-Time is of no importance when its relation to recovered files counts for the xtra time. However there is no direct relation between recovered files amount and scan-time, which makes us judge the applications by their merits. iBeesoft Data Recovery is fastest of them all, and found most recoverable files. The used algorithm seems to be different for developers of recovery software.
So which is best ? Which would you prefer ? Difficult to answer really as the interface of iBeesoft is a bit confusing for novice users, but is fast and gets good results. Best interface is Cisdem and Stellar, both showing the important bits clean and minimalistic. Stellar has professional features and more sophisticated tricks covered in their application and hence more expensive, where iBeesoft is a one trick pony.

Scan-Time winner	1. iBeesoft Data Recovery, 2. iBoysoft
Recoverable files winner	1. iBoysoft, 2. iBeesoft Data Recovery, 3. Stellar
Pricing winner	1. Cisdem, 2. iBeesoft
Versatility (Features) winner by far	1. Stellar Data Recovery
Interface winner	1. Cisdem and iBoysoft

So iBeesoft Data Recovering is keeping up with its rivals and is fastest of them all. Below you see part of the scan/recover interface which I feel could puzzle users. For the single file/data recovery you’ll need the RAW selection, rather then the structure on top.

PATH

TYPE

SHOW IMAGES

To ensure the success of recovering deleted, lost or formatted files from for instance SD card on Mac, don’t save the recovered files to the SD card again. You know, your device may generate new data, which will overwrite the deleted files in the SD card permanently, making the recovery fail. So, please save them to your Mac or another external hard drive. If you do, you will be risky to lose them again.

VERDICT

The final conclusion of this Data Recovery multitest is a bit mixed, as we have winners on different subjects. First we feel we use this utility to recover lost/deleted files, and esthetics are less important to find an overall winner. iBeesoft Data Recovery proved to be an overall winner in terms of speed, found files and good pricing. Novice users of Recovery tools might feel unsecure to choose the right path (RAW Files) as other paths are presented as well. But overall iBeesoft Data Recovery surprised us with a solid performance and a definite first choice if you’re in for a recovery tool.

NEED FOR LOCKWIPER TOOL

Why does one need a LockWiper utility really! Having a fully great working iPhone or iPad, users will not often want to do without their Cloud services. It is one of the IOS features making people want to own an iPhone or iPad. However life gets a little complicated nowadays, as we are stuck with loads of passwords for all kind of services on the internet or hardware (TV , Network, Phones , iPad) and being human we sometimes forget a password and get stuck. On the internet this is no real problem as we can change the password by just entering your email at the prompt ” Forgot your Apple-ID and/or password ” ?
With hardware like our iPhones this option doesn’t exist and leaves users in the dark, just staring at a non-functional piece of hardware. No use, banging your head to the wall, asking yourself.. what the… is the password ?

You’re locked out and nothing can change your unlucky day. But wait and read on…help is on its way… !

Your Apple ID is used to access Apple services. However, if you forgot Apple ID password, you won’t be able to turn off Find My iPhone, erase iPhone, download Apps from App Store, etc. Luckily, iMyFone LockWiper can help you remove Apple ID from iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch without password easily.

Now take Attention:

LockWiper only supports to unlock activated device. Therefore, to remove Apple ID via LockWiper, your device must have been set up already and you can access your device settings.

1. If Find My [device] is off, all devices are supported to unlock Apple ID.
2. If Find My [device] is enabled, devices running from iOS 10.2 to 11.4 are supported to unlock without data loss.
3. If Find My [device] is enabled, devices running on iOS 12 and later versions are not supported.

If your device qualifies ( the above ) for unlocking, you get to choose any of the options below:

Unlock Apple ID without password from iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
Remove iPhone passcode from locked, disabled, broken screen
Quickly bypass Screen Time or Restrictions passcode without data loss

To get LockWiper performing its trick(s) for Apple ID removal, iTunes needs to be installed, or the unlocking tool won’t work ! Using LockWiper is super easy, and anyone can use this removal-tool for the removal process of Apple ID or screen password. You don’t need to be a true nerd or wizzard to make this tool do its tricks, its just dead easy. You can remove an Apple ID on an activated device that isn’t locked with iCloud activation lock. This feature is supported by iOS 11.3 and earlier versions if you have “find my iPhone” enabled, but if you don’t, then the tool works on all versions of iOS. Unlocking your lock screen passcode can be done on all iOS versions too.

Attention Take care if you’re concerned about losing your data, as you will lose all your information once you download and run the LockWiper unlocking tool.

2. Will iMyFone LockWiper erase data on iOS devices?

Yes, both Unlock Screen Passcode and Unlock Apple ID mode will erase all the data on your iDevice. For Unlock Screen Passcode mode, it will also update your iOS version to the latest one.

It’s also important to remember you should NOT update or restore your device after removing your Apple ID because your device will be automatically locked by iCloud. Now even with these serious limitations, we feel iMyFone LockWiper is a great tool to have in your toolbox incase you ever find yourself locked out of your iPhone.

iMYFONE’s LOCKWIPER UTILITY

iMyFone’s LockWiper has in their tradition a nicely minimalistic interface and layout. It good to have just limited options available to keep focussed on the problem to be solved. I truly like the interfaces of any iMyFone quality software. There’s No Preferences menu involved to run the tool, just choose your desired solution and follow the instructions presented in a clear and easy way. Its a no-brainer to use really, we rather have clean and simple solutions to complicated risk handlings.

Great, you’ve dried your eyes and will be a happy person soon, after reading the steps and/or tricks. iMyfone brings us LockWiper to solve our problem and makes us end up with a usable iPhone or iPad again. In contrast to iBypasser , this LockWiper toolbox makes No use of thirdparty software, well it needs iTunes to work, but nothing else. After LockWiper’s chosen run, you end up with:

All iOS features after removal:

Change to a different Apple ID or create a new one

Duplicate File Finder Pro review

Posted on6 May 202013 February 20212 Comments

Version 6.6 Pro	Developer Nektony
Website https://nektony.com/	Buy at Apple Store

ABOUT NEKTONY

Nektony is a software development company that is specialized on Mac utilities & iOS productivity apps. Its founded in 2011 and located in Odessa, Ukraine.

INSTALLATION & SETUP

Installation of Duplicate File Finder is simple, just drag and drop the icon(application) inside the .dmg file to your Applications folder and you’re done. Now enter your serial if you bought the Pro version. With the PRO version you can operate duplicate folders and non-identical Similar folders and even similar photos.

WHY WE NEED DUPLICATE FILE FINDER PRO

Every music and photography entousiast (and others) will face a lot of duplicate or simular files cluttering their drives, as experimenting and tryouts with images or music is one of my passions. I guess there’s more people like me, spending hours and hours perfecting our favorite photo’s or edited music compilations. People like me get warnings from iCloud, that their storage is full and needs upgrading. All because the latest Cataina version syncs our desktops with iCloud. So in order to avoid iCloud problems, I copy the folders to an external NAS where loads of partitions get stuffed with ‘Folders in Progress’, I call them. In the end, I end up with numerous folders with identical or nearly same files. At times we need to sweep the disks in order to keep things fairly clean, and use the diskspace for new data. Nektony created a nice application Duplicate File Finder Pro ( or Free ). This application helps to remove duplicates in just a few minutes or hours depending on the amount of data to be searched.
Duplicate File Finder scans your Mac hard drive or external drives to find identical files and folders. It searches equal files by type, name, count, and size. You can separately view and delete duplicate photos, videos, music, documents, or all types of duplicates from your Mac. Duplicate File Finder also helps you to detect similar folders, which have both equal and unique files and merge them to free up storage space on your disk. Besides that, Duplicate File Finder detects similar photos in order to ease the selection of the favorite pictures you want to keep on your computer. This application is easy to use and it provides a “how to use” guide for new users. A free version is also available, but I feel the Pro version with its bonus features will not withhold too much, for its pricing.

EXTRA FEATURES PRO VERSION

If you want the advanced features, like removing duplicates in bulk, comparing folders or merging folders, you can upgrade the app to a Pro version for $19.99.

Remove Duplicates in Similar Folders
Merge Scanned Folders
Find and Remove Similar Photos ( also in Free version )
View Removal History

Overall Duplicate File Finder Pro functionality features:

Quickly find duplicates on any disk, folder, storage
Detect duplicate pictures and similar photos
Find Duplicate and Similar folders
Recover removed duplicates from the Trash
Merge folders and organize your files
Remove duplicates from Photos Library
Find hidden duplicates
Use smart Cleanup Hints
Use Auto Select option
Find duplicates of any type of files*
View usage visualization of duplicates
Skip specific folders or file types from search
Get accurate byte-to-byte duplicates’ results
Define duplicate files size to be searched
Select duplicates only in particular folders

COMPARE DUPLICATE FILE FINDER vs GEMENI 2

Why do we compare two applications at the same time? Well to be honest Gemeni 2 is a wellknown application with great reviews, and Nektony is still fairly less known and we find almost no reviews on the internet. So we need to test and check, in order to make up an opinion on the quality and effectiveness of the scanning results.

INTERFACE & PREFERENCES

The opening-interface of Duplicate File Finder is minimalistic and simple. Too simple for my taste, as I fancy sleek and well layed out interfaces. Duplicate File Finder does come with some special Preferences for any user to adjust and set. Its main feature (to me) is the addition or removal of directories to be skipped or added. This will impact scanningtime (faster/slower) depending of file amount to scan. The ‘Skip List’ Tab allows you to adjust the folder/files to be scanned. The ‘Auto Select’ provides numeral options for file selections.

As soon as it starts scanning , we get a column overview of the disk content, nicely devided in seperate folders and filetypes. Depending on the amount of folders to be scanned-searched, the scan can take just a few minutes to in my case approx. 4 hours scantime. During scanning the animated columns show you the data-amount scanned and in progress. Quite informative and the progressbar at the bottom tells you the remaining files or folders to be scanned and compared.

When all scanning is finished we get a full overview of all duplicate files/folders found nicely sorted in filetype and detailed information of numbers and size. The Pro version provides some extra buttons (Merge etc), to perform related functionality.

Like any removal application, one should always check and check again if the proposed file(s)/folders are the ones you want to get rid off. People running RAID systems should defenitly check and check. Even when deleted all is not lost as there are applications to retrieve your just deleted files, but better be safe then sorry.

A view selection of seperate Button actions will give you a nice idea of its full potential.

FOUND DUPLICATES in SEARCH

We started with the knowledge of Gemini 2 qualities, and were wondering if Duplicate File Finder could match its performance. The performance is source for discusion as it comes down to priorities for results. Is the outcome of found files priority or scan-time, amount of files ? Take your pick as each seperate item is somehow important. In our test we scanned 1.500.000 files in a straight run and noted the performance of both applications. The outcome is overwhelming in favor of Duplicate File Finder in each seperate measurement. Keep in mind that we are not able to check the accuracy of each application as we ran a 1.500.000 files test, which we can’t check for each file found. Overall, the Duplicate File Finder application won in every aspect:

– Found Files approx. 42000 more
– Found amount Gb 16 Gb more data
– Scan-Time 40 min.faster

The found files amount of Gemini 2, might be due to way of calculation folders/files. Maybe its a matter of min. file size to set as Threshold, we don’t know, all we see is the outcome which surprised us really.

VERDICT

Again Nektony surprised us with a great and cheap application Duplicate File Finder Pro. We tested a huge amount of data for duplicate files (detection function) and this neat app beats the competition. Is it flawless, you might ask yourself after reading this review? I guess not, RAID users should be carefull with any remover application. However in a straight 1:1 contest, Duplicate File Finder beat the competition in every aspect.
For now honours to Nektony’s Duplicate File Finder application, which even has a decent pricing tag. Get yourself the Free version and try and judge for yourself if this could be your best buy ever.

You’re locked out and nothing can change your unlucky day. But wait and read on…help is on its way… !

iMYFONE’s iBYPASSER UTILITY

Great, you’ve dried your eyes and will be a happy person soon, after reading these steps and/or tricks. iMyfone brings us the iBypasser application to solve our problem and makes us end up with a usable ( though NO cloud, call function anymore) iPhone or iPad again. You may wonder ( well I did ) how they are able to resolve our problem with a locked device. Once you start running iBypasser the more experienced Mac users will understand that the application makes use of a downloaded jailbreak app called CHECKRA1N which is a free jailbreak application. So why not just use this application and do the trick? Well i’ll explain the needed steps to perform a jailbreak, which at least is a hassle for any novice user. To be frank I guess novice users won’t be able to perform a full jailbreak as it needs some understanding of the proces to follow. The next chapter will explain what and how a jailbreak works.

JAILBREAK

What is jailbreaking? Jailbreaking is the process by which Apple users can remove software restrictions imposed on iOS and Apple products like the iPad®, iPhone, iPod®, and more. Jailbreaking allows root access to iOS. It lets users install applications, themes and extensions, and other software applications that are not authorized by Apple’s App Store. iBypasser also uses the CHECKRAIN1N app which is developped by @CrazyMind90 and @AJBboCydia some ears ago, but gets updated to keep jailbreaking any new IOS edition. CheckRa1n is a permanent semi-tethered jailbreak for every iOS version running A5-A11 devices. Jailbreak does NOT solve the Activation Lock just the root access.

CHECKRA1N JAILBREAK APP

Use the link below IF you want to jailbreak your device (at your own risk ) and install Cydia , but the Activation Lock will remain! This is a more semi-permanent solution giving access to themes, software, apps. Think twice or read about this single application before use. iBypasser handles this software in a
adjusted way to just jailbreak AND Unlock the Activation.

ACTIVATION LOCK

So, what is an Activation Lock ? According to Apple, “Activation Lock is a feature that’s designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch if it’s ever lost or stolen. Apple’s IOS software has build in security preventing unlawfull use of the device( your not the owner) when its lost or stolen. Users always setup their device with a security code and/or face recognition on the later iPhone models, and create an Apple ID- password. Your Apple-ID grants you access to Apple’s cloud and important apps like Cloud, Mail, Store etc. If you can’t remember your Apple-ID/password the iPhone is blocked, so can it be blocked by the ” Find my Phone app ‘, incase one lost their phone. iBypasser will gain access to the device allowing you to create a new Apple-ID/password and use it accordingly.

ATTENTION

After bypassing activation lock with iMyFone iBypasser, the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch will be jailbroken. You can access the device again for daily use except for the function of phone call, cellular and iCloud of your new Apple ID.
The activation lock screen will appear again if you reset your device after bypassing. You can use iBypasser on the same device for unlimited times before the license expires.
This version does not (yet) support the latest iPhones 11 and up.

We tried of course the Activation Lock bypass for its claim. First we used the original Checkra1n.app downloaded from the URL above, and though the iPhone was jailbroken, we still needed to enter Apple’s ID/Password in order to proceed the activation of the device. No good in case you like mentioned earlier forgot/have not got a valid ID belonging to the device itself ( the device keeps its original ID in its chipset stored ). So we move on to THE INTERFACE and practical use of iMyfone iBypasser.app

THE INTERFACE

iBypasser’s interface is minimalistic and presents all information needed to perform a good jailbreak / Activation Lock bypass. An external ‘jailbreak file’ (Checkra1n), is automatically downloaded and is needed for the full process to end. The complete interface more or less is just a visual guide for the steps to make rather then a programmed piece of software. However iBypasser does add some code to overcome the Activation Lock which is still left by Checra1n. The interface is just a set of text sreens where only the download of the jailbreak is activated with programming code/command. The clients actions to be taken are the same as the standalone Checkra1n.app, but now guided with an interface.

After the very fast processing of the jailbreak the interface takes you to its final steps. The end-result is great. Your former blocked iPhone is now overruling the Lock Activation and steps straight to the basic iPhones apps interface where you may set a new Apple ID/Pass combination. Is this Apple legal?, I don’t know. Jailbreaking is legal and only limits the security offered by Apple’s IOS software. You could have malware hidden in the jailbreak app or risk your privacy as you do with all apps used outside the Apple Store. I know Apple uses its Apple Store for money reasons, but it also provides safety for clients buying malware free stuff.

STEPS FOR JAILBREAK

To show you the simplicity but really EFFECTIVE steps to bypass the Activation Lock, we show you the few steps to achieve access to your device. It only takes a second to feel yourself a professional hacker and boast your achievement to your friends and family. Still its iMyfone’s iBypasser that deserves all the credit.

Is there more to it ? Not really, as we now end with some claims made by the developer.

Bypass activation lock and get into your iOS device again.

Use a new Apple ID on your device.

iDevice won’t be tracked by the previous Apple ID.

iDevice won’t be remotely blocked or erased by the previous Apple ID user.

Now whats the benefit of this jailbreak really? To put it simple just gain access to your device and do a restore action in case you backed up the device trough iTunes. Keep in mind that ONLY Apple can unlock your device really rather then bypass an Activation Lock. You won’t be able to use the call function of the iPhone as mentioned earlier.
So its not for support of stolen iPhones, as the IMEI code is still valid at Apple’s servers where owners with access to ID/Pass can block their devices and only they can unblock. You can use the phones internet and such, but calling is impossible. Well I am not an expert in these matters but I think this article
describes the jailbreak / process / use in a simple way.

Therefore, if you want to gain complete access to your iPhone, use iMyFone LockWiper to remove all iPhone locks and restrictions.

What are the competitive features of iMyFone iBypasser:

1. The supported devices and iOS versions are many and relatively new: iPhone5s-iPhoneX, and it runs on iOS 12.3 or above (Note:

iOS12.4.5 and 12.4.6 are not supported)

2. Simple operation

3. Provide trial, you can know whether your device is supported by trial

VERDICT

iMyfone’s iBypasser application offers real bypassing of Apple’s Activation Lock in a few simple steps. We tried and were succesfull with just a little efford. The application does exact what it claims and takes any user through a smooth process. This software is not meant for activating stolen phones as you can’t use the call function anymore when blocked, but (may) help out any user buying a secondhand iPhone. Its easy and effective and without any compromise. If you are in need for a great tool bypassing your Active Lock, look no further as this piece of software will put a smile on your face again.
