Apple ID Overview:
Apple ID is an authentication method used by Apple devices and services like iPhone, iPad, Mac, iCloud, App Store, iTunes Store, etc. An Apple ID is also used to create and claim your business in Apple Business Connect. An Apple ID is essentially an account that you use to access all Apple devices/accounts and make them work seamlessly together.
