I’m setting up my brother’s new iphone 6s and when entering his email/Apple ID I accidentally omitted one letter, but didn’t realize my mistake until late in the process. Due to the incorrect email/Apple ID I’m unable to sign in to verify the password/account. How do I change the incorrect email/Apple ID to the correct email/Apple ID?
