Q: My iPhone has a different apple ID than iPad and Mac. How do I make them all the same?
My iPhone was originally set up as a business phone with the business email. The business nor the email no longer exist but the iPhone continually asks for the password for this apple ID. I am unable to update apps because the phone still thinks it should use the old apple ID however, I am able to purchase apps. I want all 3 of my devices to operate with the same apple ID.
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.5

The apps that are asking for the password to the old ID when they are trying to update are tied to that Apple ID because they were purchased with that Apple ID. You will have to continue to supply the password for that old Apple ID to update those apps, or you will have to delete those apps and re-purchase them or re-download them if they were free under your current Apple ID.
Cheers,
