If you have recently purchased a new iPhone, the first challenge you’ll encounter is:
creating an Apple ID. You’ll need an Apple ID for almost everything on your iPhone.
That’s why in this video, you’ll learn how to create an Apple ID for free as a beginner.
Hello everyone, Rahul here from TechReviewPro.com and welcome back to the channel.
Today, we are going to learn how to create an Apple ID without a credit card.
And by the way, make sure you watch until the end of this video because that’s where I’ll
share a little secret to download any free or even paid apps on your iPhone without a credit card.
So, without any further delay, let’s get started!
There are multiple methods you may create an Apple ID on your iPhone or iPad but
since this is a step-by-step tutorial for beginners,
so I’ll show you the simplest method to create an Apple ID for FREE.
First, go to Settings. When you open settings, you’ll notice that you are getting an option to
sign in to your iPhone. And the reason why you are getting this option is that you are not yet
logged in with your Apple ID on your iPhone. And
that’s totally fine because you have yet to create an Apple ID, right?
So, simply tap here, and this will open an interface where users may enter
Apple ID and password to sign in to the iPhone. However, since you don’t have an Apple ID yet,
so you’ll simply ignore this and tap here instead which says, don’t have an Apple ID or forgot it.
When you’ll tap on that, you’ll notice that you’ll get options like Create Apple ID, Forgot Apple ID,
and Cancel. You simply need to tap on Create Apple ID, and this will open an Apple ID
creation page where you need to fill up details like First name, last name, and date of birth.
I’m going to enter Rahul as my first name, then the last name, and after that a random date as
my date of birth. I would recommend you to enter your real date of birth because you
might need it later for verification purposes and remembering this will come in very handy.
By the way, in case you are wondering, it’s my birthday today, therefore,
I would be so happy if you wish me a happy birthday message in the comments section below.
Alright! Once done with that, tap next, and on the next screen, you’ll need to enter an
email address that you want to set as your Apple ID. If you have already got an email
address from other service providers like Gmail, Outlook, etc. then you may use that
as well to create your Apple ID. In other words, it doesn’t have to be a brand-new email address.
However, if you don’t want that, and instead you want a brand-new email address as your Apple ID,
then you may simply tap the “don’t have an email address” option and then tap
“Get an iCloud email address”. Because the good thing is that
it also allows you to create a free iCloud email address with 5 GB of free iCloud storage space.
Once you tap on that, you may enter your desired email address here, and then, tap Next. Now,
let me enter my desired iCloud email address here that I want to create as my Apple ID.
As soon as I tap Next, I got this error message that says,
“Email address taken”. Further, it also explains that “Your Apple ID could not
be created because this email address is no longer available. Please choose a new one”.
So it’s worth noting that you can only create an iCloud email address that’s unique.
You can’t just create any random email address as your Apple ID
because the email address you select for your new Apple ID is subjected to availability.
Since this iCloud email address is already taken, so I’ll edit it and try to create a different one.
Let me check if it’s available this time. So I’ll tap Next. And as you can see,
it is providing me with an option to Create Email Address.
That means this iCloud email address is available and if I tap Create Email Address,
this will become my new Apple ID. So simply tap, Create Email Address,
and this will ask you to enter a password that you want to set as the password for your new Apple ID.
Just in case you don’t know, the minimum requirements for an Apple ID password recommended by Apple are:
Your password must be at least 8 characters long,
should include a number, an uppercase letter and a lowercase letter.
So choose a strong password accordingly for your new Apple ID,
and then re-type the password here to verify it. Once done with that,
tap Next, and this will start the process of creating an Apple ID.
Sometimes, you might also get a pop-up asking you to verify your phone number.
This is just for verification purposes.
You may either tap continue to verify with the same phone number which is currently in
use on your iPhone, or you may also choose a different phone number for verification.
I’ll simply tap continue to proceed.
And now, as you can see here,
I have got these terms and conditions in front of me. So, I’ll simply scroll down and tap Agree.
By the way, if you have got some free time, you may read the terms and conditions to know
what are the terms you need to abide by. But most people don’t give a damn about this,
because, after all, these terms will keep changing and these big tech companies like Apple, Google,
etc. will never let you use their services without agreeing to their terms of services.
So tap Agree, and then tap again to confirm it. Now, as you can see that, we are signing in to
iCloud. That means, our new Apple ID is created now, and we are currently signing in to iCloud.
And now that your Apple ID is created, you can use it to download apps
and do other things that previously you were not able to do on your iPhone.
So that’s how you can create an Apple ID for Free as a Beginner. And as promised,
here is the little secret to download any free or even paid apps on your iPhone without a credit card:
Many of you might not have a credit card, but you must have access to a debit card. In that case,
you may simply go to Amazon and purchase an App Store gift card using your debit card,
and then redeem that gift code to add funds to your Apple ID so that you may download
paid apps as well. Check out the video description below for more information.
