Apple is getting ready for a major rebrand of its well-knownApple ID, with plans to rename it as ‘Apple Account’. Several sources who are familiar with Apple’s worktoldMacRumorsthat the Cupertino tech giant is experimenting with a new Apple Account name which might debut as early as this year.
An Apple ID is a core account for everything Apple. It allows a user to access various Apple services likeiCloud,App Store,Apple Pay, Apple Music, and more. When you first set up your Apple device, you need to create an Apple ID or use the one that already exists. If you use the same Apple ID across multiple Apple gear, everything will be automatically synced on your devices.
At the moment, we don’t know why Apple is considering the plans to rebrand Apple ID. Apple has a style of keeping multiple marketing names ready before it plans to launch new services or products. For instance, when launching the operating system for the Vision Pro headset, Apple used three different names in its internal testing, namely realityOS, xrOS, andvisionOS.
While we might see a new name for Apple ID, there’s also a possibility that Apple Account branding might not come to fruition, for some reason. Currently, there’s limited information at hand, we’ll update you as new leaks pile up in the coming weeks.
