Actually, we’ve searched hard for a truly free iphone unlock tool. But the short answer is no. Almost every iPhone unlocker on the market only offers a free trial or free download. You can download the software, check compatibility, or enter recovery mode for free. But to actually unlock your iPhone screen passcode, you need to buy a subscription or a lifetime license.

This applies to all the popular names: iMyFone LockWiper, AnyUnlock, AiseeSoft, UkeySoft, and Tuneskit. They all give you a taste for free, then ask for payment to finish the job.

So if someone promises a completely free unlock – be very careful. It is likely to be a scam.

We compared the 5 tools based on free trial features, price, paid features,etc to give you a quick overview.

As you can see, all tools let you download for free. But to unlock iPhone without passcode for free? None of them allow that. A paid plan is needed.

1 iMyFone LockWiper

iMyFone LockWiper is one of the most trusted names in iPhone unlocking. The company has 12 years of experience in iOS unlock solutions. On Trustpilot, Reddit, and Quora, many users call it reliable and easy to use.

Free features (no credit card needed for trial):

The paid version (starting at $29.95 for 1 month) provide as high as 90% success unlocking, removing all types of locks: screen passcode, Apple ID, MDM, and Screen Time passcode.

Here are the steps on how to unlock iPhone screen passcode using the best iPhone unlock tool.

First, download and install LockWiper on your computer. Launch it, then click the Start to Unlock button.

Step 1: Use a USB cable to connect your device and click on the Start button to proceed.

Step 2: To unlock the iOS screen passcode, you need to download the firmware file. Click the Download button to get it.

Step 3: When the download completes, click the Unlock button, the software will begin unlocking your locked iPhone.

5 minutes later, the process will complete. You can see the iPhone screen passcode has been unlocked. You can set up a new iPhone passcode and starting using the device. Enjoy yourself.

Pros

• High success rate to unlock iPhone locks
• Supports all iOS versions and iPhone models (including iOS 26 and iPhone 17)
• 12 years of development, frequent updates
• Positive reviews across Trustpilot and Reddit

Cons

• No permanently free version, users must pay to unlock

2 AnyUnlock

AnyUnlock offers a free trial that detects your iPhone model and downloads the matching firmware. In our test, it downloaded iOS 15.6 firmware (about 3.2 GB) and asked to click “Unlock Now”. The unlock process takes about 10 minutes and the phone rebooted to the Hello screen. But all data was erased.

However, there is a problem with Apple ID removal. AnyUnlock can remove a previous owner’s Apple ID, but after erasing the device, the phone got stuck on the iCloud activation lock screen. To bypass that, you must use the “Bypass Activation Lock” feature – which requires jailbreaking your iPhone. AnyUnlock does not offer an all-in-one product bundle; you need to pay separately for different unlocking features.

Prices for AnyUnlock

Unlock Screen: $35.99

Bypass Activation Lock: $35.99

Unlock Apple ID: $29.99

Remove Screen Time: $25.99

Pros

• Automatic device detection, which is easy to use
• Separate tools for different locks (you only pay for what you need)

Cons

• Bypassing iCloud activation lock requires jailbreak and breaks key services
• Can’t unlock some iOS devices like iPod
• No single-use cheap option

3 AiseeSoft

AiseeSoft iPhone Unlocker has solid, reliable performance. In hands-on tests, it was simple to use with a good range of functions. It unlocked my screen passcode in about 5 minutes. But the free trial has limitations; it can only detect my device and download firmware. Before unlocking, I need to purchase a paid plan. The price for it is relatively more expensive than iMyFone LockWiper, $31.92 for a 1-month license (6 iOS devices / 1 PC).

Pros

• Very easy to use, even for beginners
• Affordable 1-month plan
• Effective for unlocking screen passcode and Apple ID removal

Cons

• iCloud activation lock bypass may not work at all
• Free trial cannot complete any unlock
• Some users report refund problems

4 UkeySoft

UkeySoft iOS Unlocker has a very clean and simple interface. But it only offers two unlocking functions: Unlock Apple ID and Unlock screen passcode. Compared to other tools, it is not feature-rich.

In our test, the firmware download took about 12 minutes, which is slower than others. It successfully removes screen passwords (numeric code, Face ID, pattern, Touch ID), but erases all data. As for the Apple ID removal feature, it does not support all models. If your iPhone’s “Find My” is enabled, it only works on iOS 10.2 – 11.4.

It has no monthly or yearly plans, only a lifetime plan at $65.96.

Pros

• Very simple, no confusing extra features
• Lifetime license – pay once, use forever

Cons

• Only two unlock functions
• Apple ID unlock works only on very old iOS versions
• No support for iOS 26 or new iPhones
• Poor customer support according to user feedback

5 Tuneskit

Tuneskit iPhone Unlocker has great performance at removing MDM profiles without data loss in our test. However, entering DFU mode on the latest iPhone 17 models can be tricky. It may need multiple attempts.

The free trial enables users to download the software, detect your device, and download the firmware (about 5.62 GB), but when you click “Unlock,” it asks you to buy a paid version. Some users feel misled because it says “free” but then charges.

Prices for Tuneskit

Monthly plan: $34.95/month

Annual plan: $49.95/year

Lifetime plan: $59.95

Pros

• Excellent MDM removal without erasing data
• Multiple tools in one package (screen lock, Apple ID, MDM)

Cons

• Entering DFU mode on new iPhones is difficult
• You must pay to unlock iPhone
• Large firmware file (5.62 GB) may consume a large amount of computer memory

Yes, there are free methods to unlock an iPhone without a passcode – but only if you know the Apple ID and password of that iPhone. These methods will erase all data, but the activation lock will not appear because you own the Apple ID.

1 Use iCloud’s Remote “Remove This Device” Feature

2 Use “Erase iPhone” Feature (iOS 15.2 or later)

If your iPhone runs iOS 15.2 or newer, you can erase it directly from the lock screen:

Note

Both methods require your Apple ID password. If you forgot that too, you cannot use these free methods. You may turn iPhone unlocker for help.

We have looked at the top 5 iphone unlock software options for 2026. None of them offer a completely free iphone unlocker – you always need to pay to remove the actual lock. But they all provide free trials or free downloads so you can test them before buying.

If you want the most reliable, and high-success-rate tool, iMyFone LockWiper is our top recommendation. With 12 years of experience, and positive user feedback, it gives you simple experience to unlock iPhone.
