🆕 New to Apple? First step: create an Apple ID — your all-access pass to the ecosystem.

📱 Method 1 → During device setup (iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro):
• Tap “Forgot password or don’t have an Apple ID?” → Create Account
• Use your own email — or get a free @icloud.com
• Add trusted phone → verify email → done

💻 Method 2 → On Mac (macOS Sequoia+):
• System Settings → Sign in → Don’t have Apple ID?
• Fill in your details
• Optional: use Touch ID to confirm — fast & secure

🛍️ Method 3 → From the App Store:
• Tap your profile icon → Create New Apple ID
• Choose region, email, password, payment method
• Verify email — start downloading apps instantly

🌐 Method 4 → From any browser (Android/Windows friendly):
• Go to account.apple.com → “Create your Apple Account”
• Name, birthdate, phone, email — verify both codes

📺 Bonus use cases:
• Apple TV: Add user → create ID for streaming
• iCloud for Windows: Sign up during install
• Family Sharing: Invite up to 5 users after setup

🔐 Pro Tips for 2025:
• Two-factor auth is now default — keep recovery info safe
• Try passkeys: secure, password-free logins via iCloud Keychain
• Apple Pay Later is now offered during signup (US/EU only)

✅ One ID = seamless sync across iPhone, Mac, iPad, Vision Pro & more.

Create yours once — and you’re in the Apple universe.
