two iPhones and Apple id's

Hi, I have an iPhone for personal use and my employer is changing policy for our work mobile phones. They will supply a SIM card and budget and we can choose which phone to buy. I would like to get a second Iphone (rather than have to learn another operating system etc.) as my work phone but what should I do about a second Apple ID? Can I have 2 Apple IDs and can I share any Apps or media content across the two accounts ?

thanks

Using Family Sharing from Apple is a way to share most purchases between 2 Apple IDS.

Create a family and invite your 2nd Apple ID to it.

Hi

All apps & data are tied to the apple id in use when they were downloaded

You could have 1 ID for work & 1 for your private iPhone

But you cannot share apps /data between id s
