Apple ID is now Apple Account

In macOS 15 Sequoia, iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and watchOS 11, Apple ID is now Apple Account. This doesn’t really change any functionally in your Apple Account. The new name is a slightly more sensible term because you can sign in to an Apple Account that holds your information. This differs from Apple ID which was primarily an identifier that didn’t inherently imply that it stored data. MacEdge believes that this is a branding change to provide a more unified experience.  The name change is mostly a distinction without a difference. With that said, you should be aware of it when reading support documentation or tech articles. You’ll see the new term in System Settings on the Mac and Settings on the iPhone and iPad.
