How to Create an Apple ID?

So, congratulations on your iPhone purchase! You’re about to have an exciting journey with your new device – by the way, our blog will greatly help with that. But first things first, you need to register an Apple ID account. Here’s how you can do it.

Why do you need an Apple ID?

An Apple ID is a unique identifier in the Apple ecosystem. Without it, you won’t be able to utilize your device fully. That’s why during the setup of your new device, you’ll be prompted to enter your Apple ID and password.

With your Apple ID, you can:

• Sync all Apple devices (we’re sure you won’t limit yourself to just buying an iPhone) and access all personal data from any device: contacts, notes, documents, photos, and videos can be viewed through iCloud storage;
• Download paid and free content from the App Store: apps, games, music, etc;
• Make free audio and video calls via FaceTime;
• Send and receive free multimedia messages on iMessage (texts and pictures).
