When you create an Apple account on any of your devices, you can access everything Apple on all your devices, from purchases to services to iCloud and more.
Here’s how.
Create your Apple Account on iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro
We’ll show you how to create an Apple account during setup of your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro, how to create one using the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro, how to create one on the web, and how to create one in Settings on your Mac.
Create your Apple Account when you set up your device
First, we’ll show you how to create an Apple account during setup of your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro. Follow the prompts to begin setting up your device.
When you reach the Apple account sign-in screen, tap Forgot password or don’t have an account, and tap Create a free Apple account.
Enter your name and birthday, and tap Continue.
Next, you can use an existing email address, as long as you have access to it, or you can create a free iCloud email address.
We’re going to create one.
Tap Don’t have an email address, and then tap Get an iCloud email address.
In the Email field, enter the new email address you want to use for your Apple account, and then tap Continue and follow the prompts to finish setting it up.
Create your Apple Account using the App Store on your device
If you’ve already set up your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro, you can create an Apple account using the App Store.
Before you start, it’s a good idea to make sure your device is updated to the latest operating system, and you’ll need an existing email address that you have access to.
Tap the Account button in the upper right corner of the App Store, then tap Create New Apple Account, and follow the prompts to finish setting it up.
Create your Apple Account on the web
No matter what device you use, even if it’s not an Apple device, you can create a new Apple account on the web.
Before you start, it’s a good idea to make sure your device is updated to the latest operating system, and you’ll need an existing email address that you have access to.
Go to account.apple.com, click Create your Apple account, and follow the prompts to finish setting it up.
Create your Apple Account on Mac
You can also create an Apple account in Settings on your Mac.
Before you start, it’s a good idea to make sure your Mac is updated to the latest version of macOS.
In the sidebar of System Settings, click Sign in with your Apple account, and click Don’t have an account, enter your birthday, then click Next, and enter your name.
You can use an existing email address, as long as you have access to it, or you can create a free iCloud email address.
Let’s create one.
Click Get a free iCloud email address, and enter the new email address you want to use for your Apple account.
Enter a strong password, and enter it again to confirm.
Then click Next and follow the prompts to finish setting up your Apple account.
