When using Apple devices, such as iPhone or macOS, it is requested that we log in with our Apple ID , or that we create a new account in the following link:
Apple ID
The Apple ID, or Apple ID, is the personal account that we must use to access Apple services such as App Store , iTunes Store, iCloud , iMessage, Apple Online Store or FaceTime among others. This Apple ID is integrated with the information needed to log in, as well as all the contact, payment and security details to use in all Apple services..
Every time we configure a new device, make a purchase or use any Apple service, we will automatically be asked to log in with the Apple ID and password . By doing this, we will have access to the service and all personal information from our account.
Now, if we change equipment or have simply created a new Apple ID , we may want to delete the current Apple ID; but it is a task of which we must be completely sure since when deleting an Apple ID, data loss, loss of Contacts synchronization, Notes synchronization, non-use of purchased applications and many more tasks are involved associated and linked to Apple services..
