How to create an Apple ID without a credit card, two ways
An Apple ID is required for all owners of Apple devices. Without it, it is impossible to download an application or music, purchase a movie or book, or use the iCloud network service. In addition, using Apple ID, users can place orders for products in Apple retail stores.
In this material we will look at 2 ways to create an Apple ID without a credit card, and also describe possible errors during registration.
It is worth noting that the process of creating a new identifier is quite simple. Users need to fill out a number of fields and come up with a password. Many people are confused by the need to enter payment card details when registering. This step is required to make purchases from the iTunes Store. But if desired, users may not fill out this item. To do this you need to use a little trick.
You can create an Apple ID in 2 ways - from a mobile device or using iTunes. However, we would like to immediately highlight several key features:
- When registering, be sure to indicate your existing E-mail. In the future, you will receive a link to complete registration.
- Apple does not allow you to register an Apple ID under 13 years of age. In addition, some restrictions apply for users under 18 years of age.
By the way, registering in the App Store requires the same steps, and many people confuse these concepts. It's just that in this case, the ID is created automatically. But you can register in the App Store with a ready-made Apple ID.
