What is Apple ID?
An Apple ID is a unique identifier that is used to sign in to various Apple services, such as the App Store, iCloud, the iTunes Store, and more. It is typically an email address that you use to create an account with Apple.
With an Apple ID, you can access and manage all of your Apple services and devices in one place.
