Apple IDs for different devices

My Apple ID is currently associated with my work email. I will be leaving my position at the end of the year and that email will go away. My personal apple phone and IPad are also connected via this Apple ID. I just purchased a new MackBook for personal use and wnat to know if I should go ahead and connect it now using the same Apple ID, and then change the currently associated email when I leave my current employer? Or should I try and create a new Apple ID (although Apple keeps telling me that my personal emails are already connected to an Apple ID).

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13

What you want to do is simply CHANGE your AppleID to an e-Mail which you control.


Avoid the temptation to have multiple AppleIDs; doing will only add complexity and frustration going forward.


This should be done BEFORE you depart the workplace.


Doing so should have no impact on the delivery of your business e-mail. (i.e. there’s no reason to wait)
