Method 1: Creating via the Web (No Sign-Out Required)

The easiest and most reliable way is using any web browser on your device or computer. This doesn't affect your existing sign-in. Here's how:

Step 1: Launch your Browser 

• Open your browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.) and go to https://account.apple.com.
• Click "Create Your Apple ID" in the top-right corner, just below the sign-in field.
  
  
  

Step 2: Enter Your Basic Info

• Provide a valid email address that hasn't been used for an Apple ID before. This will become your new Apple ID. 
• Create a strong password (Apple recommends at least 8 characters with uppercase, lowercase, and numbers).
• Set your country or region—this affects app availability and currency.

Step 3: Add Personal Details

• Provide your full name and birthday (you must be at least 13 years old; under 13 requires a family setup).
• Add a phone number for verification. Apple will send a code to confirm it's yours. This phone number helps with two-factor authentication later.
  
  
  

Step 4: Subscribe to Updates (Optional)

• Choose whether to subscribe to Apple’s updates for news, products, or services (optional).
• Click "Continue" to proceed.

Step 5: Verify Your Email and Phone

• Apple will send a verification code to your email and phone. Enter these codes as prompted to confirm your new account.
• Once verified, your new Apple ID is active and ready for use with iCloud, the App Store, Apple Music, and more!

Method 2: Creating an Apple ID on a New iPhone

If you are new to iPhone you can easily create a new Apple ID. When you turn on your new iPhone for the first time, you’ll go through the setup process. Here’s how to create an Apple ID during this phase:

1. Turn On Your iPhone.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts to select your language, region, and Wi-Fi network.
3. While setting up your device, you’ll come across a screen prompting you to “Sign In with Your Apple ID.” Since you don’t have an Apple ID yet, just tap “Forgot password or don’t have an Apple ID?” to get started!
4. Select “Create an Apple ID.”
5. Enter Your Personal Information.
6. Input your name and birthday. Your birthday is important because it determines eligibility for certain features (e.g., age restrictions for kids).
7. Tap Next.
8. Set Up Your Email: You’ll be asked to choose an email address for your Apple ID.
9. Use an existing email: Enter an email address you already use (e.g., Gmail or Yahoo).
10. After choosing, tap Next.
11. Create a Password: Enter a strong password (at least 8 characters, including uppercase, lowercase, and numbers).
12. Confirm the password and tap Next.
13. Add your Phone Number for verification and account recovery.
14. Apple will send a verification code to this number. Enter the code to proceed.
15. Read and accept Apple’s Terms and Conditions by tapping Agree.

Voilà, your Apple ID is now created! Continue with the rest of the iPhone setup, such as enabling iCloud, setting up Face ID, and choosing your preferences.

If you skipped creating an Apple ID during setup or want to create a new one later, you can do so in the Settings app by navigating to “Sign in to your iPhone” and following the prompts.
