Apple Tech 752 Review: Can You Use It in 2025?

Apple Tech 752 is one of the top names you’ll come across when searching for iCloud unlock tools. However, the tool hasn’t seen a proper update in more than two years. So, does Apple Tech 752 still work in 2025? Yes and this guide takes a closer look at how to use it to unlock iCloud Activation Lock and what devices are currently supported. We’ll also examine how it’s performing for users today, so you can decide if it’s still worth your time.

Lastly, we’ll introduce you to today’s industry-standard for unlocking iCloud Activation Lock, Passixer iPhone Unlocker which is a modern yet regularly updated tool that can flawlessly unlock the latest iDevices.

What is Apple Tech 752?

Apple Tech 752 isn’t any official company or a service. It’s simply the name of a site that hosts a cluster of free desktop-based tools designed by multiple developers to bypass various Apple device locks. Some of the better-known utilities from this developer include:

• iPad3Bypasser (macOS)
• Sliver (macOS)
• Checkra1n iCloud Bypass (macOS)
• iCloudBypassCA (macOS)
• checkm8-a5 (Arduino)

Some of these utilities come directly from the original developer known as Apple Tech 752. Others are contributed by names from the broader community—developers like KennyIOS, IFPDZ, iFreeiCloud, MFC, and LibMobileDevice.

Supported Devices for iCloud Bypass:

As mentioned earlier, Apple Tech 752 isn’t a single tool but a scattered bundle of bypass utilities related to iCloud and other iOS locks. Even when focusing on the iCloud bypassing tool alone, its support varies depending on which tool you’re using and which device you’re trying to unlock.

The most widely used version, Silver 6.2, remains the central option in 2025. It supports:

• iPhone 4 and extends up to iPhone X, essentially the devices that support jailbreak-based exploits.  
• On the iPad side, support starts from the iPad 2 (including variants like 2,1 and 2,4) and stretches to 2018-era models such as the iPad Air 2 and the first-generation iPad Pro.

Important: Nearly all tools require macOS, specifically versions from High Sierra to Monterey. Still, a few utilities like iPhone 4 Bypass Package also offer limited Windows support.

Here’s a simplified breakdown of all the iCloud lock bypassing tools available on Apple Tech 752 and their support range:

Pricing for iCloud Bypass:

All tools provided on the Apple Tech 752 site are free to download and use.

While the site itself doesn’t charge for its tools, the developer is known to partner with paid services like Checkm8 and iRemoval Pro. In many cases, users spend hours trying the free tools only to be redirected to these paid alternatives.

Just remember: if anyone asks you for payment to use Apple Tech 752 tools directly, it’s usually not the developer.

Pros of iCloud Bypass with Apple Tech 752:

• Can remove iCloud Activation Lock without the original Apple ID on supported devices.
• Tools like Silver or Checkra1n still work on many A5–A9 models.
• Many iPads can be fully bypassed and used as normal offline devices.

Cons of iCloud Bypass with Apple Tech 752:

• Device compatibility is limited, supports primarily older iPhones and iPads.
• No cellular service after bypass on most iPhones (Wi-Fi only mode).
• Bypass often require multiple attempts.
• Stability issues are common: DFU mode can fail and there’s a range of Ramdisk errors, or SSH might hang.
• No updates since 2022.
• iCloud lock returns after restore or reset.
• Most reliable tools (like Silver 6.2) require macOS, no simple Windows setup available.

How Does Apple Tech 752 Work on Bypassing iCloud Lock?

Focusing just on iCloud bypass, tools like Silver, Chakra1n, or the iPad-specific bypass packages rely on custom ramdisks and checkm8-based bootrom exploits for devices running A5 to A9 chips.

These methods give root-level access to the device, so the system can delete the Setup.app file that handles activation check-ins. That’s how the bypass happens. Because of this workaround, the device won’t function like a normal iPhone or iPad. It becomes a kind of dummy unit—usable only as long as you don’t reset it or update it, or attempt to sign into iCloud or Apple ID.

Does Apple Tech 752 Still Work on iCloud Bypass in 2025?

The most reliable thing about Apple Tech 752 in 2025 might just be the website itself. The YouTube channel was taken down, Reddit replies are rare, and official messages on Twitter and Gettr go unanswered. That alone speaks volumes.

Still, the tools do work, but only if you’re on a supported device and you’re prepared to wrestle with trial-and-error.

In our own test, we managed to bypass iCloud lock on an iPhone 5c, but it took several failed attempts before it finally worked. And that’s the pattern with the tools on the site: they might work after a awful lot of tries and have become outdated and unsupported.

Look at the iCloud bypass lineup. Tools like Silver, iPad 3 Bypasser, and other ramdisk-based utilities haven’t seen a real update in over three years. Silver’s last known version, 6.2, was still the go-to as far back as 2021 and nothing’s changed since.

Ask about newer iPhones? The response is usually a referral to paid utilities like Checkm8 or iRemovalPro: tools that cost upwards of US$ 200/unlock.

How to Bypass iPhone iCloud Lock with Apple Tech 752

Installing Apple Tech 752 isn’t straightforward. The method changes depending on:

• The device you’re bypassing.
• The version of macOS you’re using.

There’s no universal setup.

• Catalina, Big Sur, and Monterey follow one method.
• High Sierra and Mojave users will need another.
• Some setups require you to select a specific Ramdisk (Standard or Alternate) right from the start.

Then there’s everything else:

• Silver 6.2 file must be placed in the Applications folder only.
• Some macOS versions need Homebrew, others don’t.
• And as for Windows users, using Silver isn’t worth the complexity. This guide is Mac-only for a reason.

So rather than explaining all the variations up front, we’ll walk you through what actually worked for us: how to bypass iCloud Activation lock on an iPhone 5S (A6 chip) on High Sierra and Mojave:

Step 1. Put your iPhone 5, 5c, or iPad 4 into Recovery Mode. Then use Restore and Update in Finder to install a fresh iOS version.

Step 2. After the restore finishes and the device reboots, power it off again. Re-enter DFU mode. Now, launch the Apple Tech 752 Tool, select Ramdisk iCloud Bypass and then choose your exact model.

Step 3. Once your device is selected, click Enter Pwned DFU in the tool. If successful, you’ll see Exploit Worked! on-screen. If the message doesn’t appear, it’s a timing issue. Simply restore again and repeat the steps above.

Step 4. After Enter Pwned DFU, choose Standard RD and click Load. You will see the Standard Ramdisk Sent message.

Shortly after, a string of letters should show up on the iPhone screen, followed by an image.

Step 5. Click Relay Device Info, accept the prompt to Start SSH session, and then click Delete Setup.app. This will start the activation lock removal process.

Step 6. Wait for the message iCloud Bypass DONE! The device will reboot.

Wrap Up

It’s safe to say that in 2025, Apple Tech 752’s iCloud bypass tools feel more like trial-and-error than a reliable solution. Even on supported models, there’s no guarantee they’ll work.

Passixer iPhone Unlocker, on the other hand, offers full support up to iPhone 16 and iOS 18 and provides a simple user experience. For anyone locked out and looking for a safer and simpler tool, Passixer is a smarter choice.
