Apple is saying goodbye to the familiar “Apple ID” and welcoming “Apple Account” as its new name. The rebranding is scheduled to roll out next month alongside the long-awaited release of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia.
How to Change Your Apple ID Without Losing Everything
The timing couldn’t be better, as Apple enthusiasts are already excited about the upcoming iPhone 16 series. This name change seems to be Apple’s way of aligning its account system with the new wave of innovations on the horizon.
But what does this mean for loyal Apple users? The good news is that it’s mostly a cosmetic update. The shift from Apple ID to Apple Account won’t result in any functional changes. Users can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their existing login credentials will remain intact. It’s just a fresh coat of paint on a familiar system.
Apple’s goal with this rebranding is to create a more consistent experience across all of its services and devices. Whether you’re tapping your iPhone, swiping through your iPad, or working on your Mac, you’ll now see “Apple Account” greeting you everywhere.
