hi I recently bought a iPhone 8+ and it’s telling me to awnser 3 security questions and then i I do that and then it says to make a back up email and whenever I type in email address whatever can be like capital letters whatever it always says “
email already taken “
email addresses are not case sensitive. Any combinations of Caps and smalls are the same email address.
It is asking you to enter a secondary email address, one that is already established and working and you can use as an alternate. It is NOT expecting you to make up an alternate name on-the-spot.

Already taken or unavailable?
If your e-mail address was associated with the ID in any way, for example as a Reachable at or Rescue e-mail address, then it can't be reused with another Apple ID for approximately one year. I have also seen posts that stated Apple told them there was a 30 day waiting period before the address could be used again. You will need to get another e-mail address to use as your Apple ID.
How do I fix “email already taken”?
