Apple ID is now Apple Account


Apple is renaming Apple ID as "Apple Account" when it rolls out iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia and watchOS 11.

The reason behind the change is to provide "a consistent sign-in experience across Apple services and devices," the company wrote in a blog post. Apple Account "relies on a user's existing credentials," so you won't have to change anything. The company is most likely going to complete the Apple Account transition by the time it rolls out the latest major public versions of the operating systems (which also include tvOS and visionOS) this fall.
