Report: Apple may rename Apple ID to ‘Apple Account’ upon release of iOS 18
If you’re an Apple device owner, you’re probably familiar with the need to create an Apple ID to unlock a full range of features, including iCloud, the App Store, and more. Now, while “Apple ID” has been a mainstay for more than a decade, there are indications that Apple is considering a rebranding that may move toward the term “Apple Account.”
According to a report by MacRumors, sources suggest that Apple is currently in the testing phase to implement a new Apple account nomenclature, and this change could make its debut as early as this year.
More specifically, this alleged branding could coincide with the releases of iOS 18 and macOS 15, which are expected to take place in September or October – Apple’s typical time frame for releasing new operating systems.
If this rebrand comes to fruition, MacRumors notes that changes will be made to both Apple’s system apps and its web interface to seamlessly incorporate the new moniker.
While the motive behind this alleged branding remains unclear, it matches up with rumors of iOS 18, which represents a major overhaul for Apple and includes potential design and interface changes, as well as the introduction of generative AI features.
However, it is important to note that these are only rumors at this time, and expectations should be kept at bay until there is concrete information from Apple.
