primary phone

Hi. I was recently trying to order something from the apple store app and it keeps asking for my primary phone . Does anyone know what that is, cause the spaces aren’t big enough to fit my whole phone number.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Can I not have multiple phone numbers associated to my Apple ID? Because I have a second phone number on an old iPhone X, I am locked out of some services. For example: Sharing Name and Photo not available Sharing Name and Photo is not available because multiple phone numbers are associated to your Apple ID. (This is from Settings - Messages - Share Name and Photo (to use with iOS 17 Contact Poster)) I have a second phone number so I can have a second account on Telegram, Signal, etc. There are other reasons for having second phone numbers too. The only option I see to fix this is to deregister the second number and set up a second AppleID. But then none of my AppStore purchases would be available on my iPhone X. What am I missing? Apple seems to be pushing me not to maintain a second phone number. Similar questions to mine are abundant, going back several years, but there is no guidance from Apple on what to do. If having a second phone number on one AppleID is so problematical, why does Apple allow it?

Address changes on pre-orders I have recently moved and forgot to change the address when I placed my pre-order for my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Has anyone ever had a situation where you needed to change the address on a pre-order? Did it effect delivery date?
