Hi!


I am creating an apple id for an old iphone and this comes up. It's not connected to some person, just an fake one for us to use on this old iphone. I dont want any stuff on my other phones to end up on this one.

iPhone 5s, iOS 11.3.1

Probably. Some minutes later, I entered same information from an iPhone instead on my PC and was able to create an apple-id.


This rule - max 3 accounts per device - could really be a showstopper if you resell your device and the new owner wants to create a new apple-id.


Apple have some strange rules not suitable for the reuse market.
