Apple ID fustration
I am terribly frustrated with the way Apple handles user accounts (aka Apple IDs). Like me, there might be hundred thousands of migrants that might want to buy apps using two or more country stores. So if you used to live in country A where you bought a number of apps, now when you move to country B, if you change your address (country store) and payment method, you can no longer see you previous purchases made in country store A. This is very annoying!! The fix of course would be to change yet again your personal information to A, but this is so irritating that many people end up creation a secondary account.
And there goes my second point. If you now use two accounts, apple decided that each device can only use one apple ID. This means that in order to set up a device such as an iphone with the new account you need to 'transfer' that device. Now you can use itunes/app store with the new account but *surprise surprise* now you cannot change to your main apple ID because you have got yourself a transfer block of 90 days!!!
Now lastly, if you decide to try Apple Music 90 days trial like I did, be careful to which account you use for this. Likewise, you get a block for changing accounts. Let's imagine that you use an apple ID with itunes store A and you decided to try out apple music. Now if you want to change the country store of this account to country B, you cannot because you can do that only on cancelation of apple music. You surely can turn off auto-renewal but at the moment you cannot cancel the trial meaning you have got another 3 month ban... Likewise if you wanted to try and use your second account, no luck because your device is now transfer blocked!!
Apple please shine some light into this!! This is by no means 'different' nor the user friendly way of doing things.
