Hi,
I'm purchasing a new replacement iPad and want to create an additional iCloud email address which I can customise.
For example my current email address is XXXX@icloud.***, I want to create another one which is yyyyy@icloud.***. I want to use the new customised one to send and receive emails, can this be done.

Yes, you can change or use a different Apple Account (Apple ID) on another device. But if you create an alias on your existing account and use it on the other device, the device will point to the same Apple Account.
If you truly want your devices to be independent from one another (so that they do not share purchases or data, such as contacts, calendar…), you would need to create a brand new Apple Account.

Currently there is no way to change the iCloud email address that is created when you get a new Apple ID. There has been talk of allowing this to happen, but without providing any speculation, we will have to wait and see if there are any further details in the next month or two.
Hello, you could create an email alias.
Thanks for your reply, I will create an alias which will solve my problem.

Hi, sorry for not replying sooner. Thanks for your reply hopefully in the future Apple will allow customisation of the main e-mail address. I will set up an alias.
