A message saying, "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone" or, "This iPhone has been used to create/setup too many new Apple IDs" is discussed in the support document: "If you see a Could Not Create Apple ID or Could Not Set Up iCloud message." Click on this link to read it. --> https://support.apple.com/HT210743

This message generally means that you have exceeded the number of Apple IDs you can set up with iCloud, or create as new IDs, on a single device in one year. See the recommendations in the link on alternative methods for setting up iCloud accounts, e.g. on a computer, or contact Apple Support if requested:

Create a new ID (if necessary)on another Apple device/computer and sign into iCloud using the same Apple ID on the other Apple device/computer. You should then be able to sign in.


The maximum number of free accounts have been activated    -


Apple ID - create a new.      *


Apple ID – Create       -


Apple ID - Could Not Create or Could Not Set Up iCloud message.    *


Or contact Apple ID Support.  See the Apple Support articles below for contact information.  


Apple ID - Official Apple Support.    -


Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support.  * (Link doesn’t always load)  


Get Support     -   Work through the screens to get a chat option. You may have to pick a slightly different problem.
