iPhone Location Spoofers Compared: iAnyGo, AnyTo, Dr.Fone, Free
2 min read
Every desktop iPhone location changer uses the same iOS developer feature to simulate GPS, so none of them needs a jailbreak. They differ in price, which computers they run on, route simulation, and whether they support current iOS versions.
Disclosure: Krypt makes Krypt Ghost. Everything about the other products comes from their own sites, docs or repositories, checked in November 2026. Prices and features change often, so confirm on their site before you choose. No affiliation with any of them is implied.
