Users whose macOS device has Find My Activation Lock wonder if bypass and unlock is the same. Both terms promise the same thing. They will provide you with access to a working computer, but there is a difference.
The Activation Lock is a part of the Find My application. When enabled, it does not give a device access to users who enter an incorrect Apple ID or password.
Thanks to the T2 security chip added to Mac computers, Apple servers can communicate with the device distantly and display Activation Lock if anything seems wrong during the activation process.
The iRemove software can bypass this activation process and trick the hardware controlled by the T2 security chip.
The iRemove tool only supports T2-equipped computers and does not run on other models.
In other words, the bypassing can only trick your computer and make it think that the activation was correct. The bypass can start up your system and bring you full control over your machine. But it is not a permanent solution.
Users who choose to upgrade macOS after bypass, for example, will make the Activation Lock return. And in this case, you can reuse iRemove and repeat the bypassing process. But the Mac unlock is another thing. It grants you full and permanent access to all computer systems because you can only unlock the macOS device by entering the correct Apple ID and password.
The iRemove, on its hand, does not require your Apple ID or passcode to complete bypass. And our tool allows you to use your macOS computer without restrictions after a successful bypass.
