Can I have 2 iPhones on the same Apple ID account

I bought another iPhone. But I’m keeping my old phone as well. Can I have these 2 phones on my Apple account or do I need to create a new one

You can't set up a new Apple ID using the same email address as one that had been used already, but you certainly can sign into another phone using that Apple ID email and password.

2 apple devices with the same icloud signed in can be done. instance 1: you have phone1(device)and line1(telephone number) they are active and signed into your current icloud. you then purchase a new phone from the same carrier while keeping your old phone. you sign into the current icloud account and can choose in the settings app to send & receive texts/calls under line1 to both devices furthermore you can decide if you want call sharing on all devices like mac/ipad. you have essentially cloned your phone and can use either device productively.


instance 2: line1+phone1 on current cloud account, you now have phone2 and a new phone number(line2) but you have singed into the same icloud account. you can then decided to merge or separate how you send and receive texts/calls. like in instance1 you can essentially clone the phone or you don't merge the numbers have 1 for friends 1 for business, calls to line1 will not alert on line2 and vice versa. however apps will all be in sync no matter what ie emails, social media, chrome browser things like that will be syncd
