Tenorshare has updated its 4uKey iPhone Unlocker to support Apple’s newly released iPhone 18 series and to expand Activation Lock removal for compatible devices running iOS 18 through iOS 26.1. The update, announced on October 1, 2026, positions the software to address the latest hardware and software from Apple, which is critical for users who need to bypass locks on newer devices.
The iPhone 18 series is now included in 4uKey’s supported device lineup, allowing users to connect their devices and check available functions based on the model and iOS version. The current technical specifications list support for iPhone models ranging from earlier generations through the iPhone 18 series, as well as supported iPad and iPod models. This means that even as Apple releases new hardware, Tenorshare aims to keep its unlocking tool current, reducing the window during which users of the newest iPhones are left without a solution.
The update also expands 4uKey’s Activation Lock support for compatible devices running earlier and newer supported iOS versions. According to Tenorshare’s compatibility list, 4uKey can now remove Activation Lock on devices running iOS 26.0–26.1, including iPhone 11 through iPhone 17 series, iPhone Air, and selected iPad models. For iOS 18.0–18.7.2, supported devices include iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation), iPhone XR, iPhone XS series, and iPhone 11 through iPhone 16 series, along with selected iPad models. Support varies by device and iOS version, so users should verify compatibility before starting any Activation Lock-related process.
For users unsure about their device’s compatibility, the latest version of 4uKey can check the connected device directly. The process involves downloading and launching Tenorshare 4uKey on a Windows PC or Mac, connecting the iPhone or iPad via USB, selecting the relevant unlocking or Activation Lock feature, and following on-screen instructions to check whether the device and iOS version are supported. Tenorshare recommends checking the supported device list before purchasing or beginning an unlocking process, as available functions can vary by model and system version.
In addition to Activation Lock scenarios, 4uKey provides tools for other common lock situations, including screen passcodes, Apple ID, MDM restrictions, and Screen Time passcodes. The update is part of Tenorshare’s continued effort to keep 4uKey compatible with newer iPhone generations and supported iOS releases. As Apple continues to tighten security and release new devices, third-party tools like 4uKey must constantly adapt. This update matters because it gives users of the latest iPhones and iPads a way to regain access to their devices, whether they’ve forgotten a passcode, purchased a used device with Activation Lock enabled, or need to remove MDM restrictions.
