Apple is said to be considering renaming Apple ID, the account users use to access company services like iCloud
According to PhoneArena, Apple has referred to its user accounts as Apple IDs for over a decade, so it would be notable that the company is considering a rebrand. With Apple ID, it helps authenticate users and makes all devices in the Apple ecosystem work seamlessly together. It’s unclear if there’s anything more to it than a rebranding
The company is said to be testing the new name and could make the change as soon as this year. The change will be introduced with the release of the next operating system versions for iPhone and Mac.
In fact, in several places on its website, Apple uses the term Apple Account. However, the rebranding will allow the company to use it as a more official name, where they replace Apple ID everywhere. If Apple follows through with its rumored plans, system apps will be updated to reflect the change. The mention of Apple ID will likely also be completely removed from the company’s website.
It is still unclear the specific reason why Apple changed the name to Apple ID or simply that the company no longer wants to use the current name. In case the switch is made, it will take some time for users to get used to it, especially for those who are long-time customers of the company. Many people may find that the term Apple ID is less confusing than Apple Account
