Separate iPhone for work

I have bought a new iPhone that I’d like to use for work. Do I set it up using this Apple ID or do I start a new Apple ID as I want to keep them separate?

If you want to keep your data separate, create/use a new Apple ID.

Apple ID - create a new

Apple ID – Create

You can try setting up Family Sharing between the IDs if you want to be able to share purchases made with the IDs.

Your choice. Anything downloaded from the store is permanently tied to the account that downloaded it, so if you want to have a second account and buy apps etc. a second time
