8. If you encounter issues with certain services after doing this, this outdated support article may still have useful suggestions --> What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support
Refer to the support article Change your Apple ID - Apple Support :
- If you don’t have an iPhone or iPad the support article says to, “go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in. Then follow the onscreen instructions to change the email address associated with your Apple ID.”
- For general information, and other issues such as changes or addresses not being accepted.
- Note a recent change to the article where you can now change the email address without having to have access to your old email account.
If you mean use a different Apple account on a phone previously used by another person, you are much better off completely resetting it, otherwise you will run into various issues because of residual settings from the previous user.
