There is no option to edit Apple ID account email..?

My Apple ID account ends with icloud.com, but I want to replace this email with another email that ends with icloud.com, so this should be no problem right? Both emails ends with @icloud.com, but there is no option to tap edit in "Accounts" on my Apple ID.


I took screenshots for help:

If the address you want to move is already associated with another Apple ID, normally it can't be used with another Apple ID for approximately one year.


In this situation, it may be best to contact Apple ID Support for assistance.

I contacted apple, they told me I can NOT edit my Apple ID with another email that ends with @icloud.com, but I can edit it with a email that ends with something else like gmail or hotmail...


So I made a new email gmail account, put it on that list, but there still is no edit option?


So I know I can't change my Apple ID with another @icloud.com email, ok. But I can change it with an @gmail.com email, still no edit option?


What am I doing wrong?
