How to Change Your Apple ID Email Address

When you create a new Apple ID, you must provide an email address or phone number. While a phone number can substitute for an email during setup, you’ll need an email address to access the Apple Developer Program.

If you’re here, it’s likely because you want to change the email address associated with your existing Apple ID. You can easily do this from both your iPhone and a computer.
