Hello Adrenal,
You can create a new @iCloud.com email address following the steps outlined in Create a primary email address for iCloud Mail - Apple Support. They contain the instructions for creating an iCloud Mail email address from the various Apple devices you may use: Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
See the steps below for how to set one up on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
2. Tap iCloud Mail (or Mail), then follow the onscreen instructions to create an iCloud Mail address.
3. If you don’t see onscreen instructions after turning on iCloud Mail on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you already have a primary iCloud email address.
The steps below will walk you through setting up the email address on a Mac:
1. On your Mac, do one of the following:
• macOS Ventura: Choose Apple menu> System Settings, click [your name] at the top of the sidebar, click iCloud on the right, click iCloud Mail, then click Turn On.
•macOS 12 or earlier: Choose Apple menu
2. Follow the onscreen instructions to create an iCloud Mail address.
If you don’t see onscreen instructions after turning on iCloud Mail on your Mac, you already have a primary iCloud email address.
Best!
