Change of emailaddress for Apple ID

Because I recieve too much spam, I want to change my emailaddress.

This means that I also have to change my Apple ID.

Question: If I change my Apple ID, will I keep on recieving the updates for my app's, or do I have to upload the app's again with the new ID and pay for them.

If you simply change your AppleID’s primary email address, as the link Ckuan provided documents, all you are doing is re-naming your current AppleID, so nothing about any data or purchases tied to that AppleID changes.

Just to be sure:

  • If I change de emailaddress of my Apple ID, I will not recieve any further updates of my app's and will have to upload (and pay ) the app's again to restore the update process.
  • If I create a new Apple ID, I also have to upload all app's again.


The second option I find understandable, but the first option I regard as a very bad service of the Apple organisation.
