The service is an integral part of the iPhone, so the joy of its owner will not be complete without knowing how to register an iPhone.
Apple products are not just fancy gadgets, moreover, according to those who like to measure long RAM, processors and similar hardware, they are technically inferior to their Android counterparts in many ways. They are loved not at all for technical characteristics, but for convenience, because in the iPhone everything is done for people. This also applies to cloud services, which are an integral part of owning this smartphone. By and large, by buying it, we are already paying for the development of the App Store, and what's the point of giving up what we have already paid for?
How to register an iPhone in the App Store
Registration should begin by launching the App Store application on your iPhone (letter "A" on a blue background). After launching it, a section selection menu will appear in front of you, select any of them and go down to the very bottom. There you will see the "Login" button, that's what we need - click.
From the pop-up menu, select " Create a new Apple ID”, after which you will need to select the country of your location. You will be prompted to read the user agreement. “Suggested” is a strong word, in fact, you will not be left with a choice, so you can immediately press “Agree”. Now, nothing more than the registration of an iPhone begins. The e-mail address is used here as an ID, so the first thing we do is enter it, and then the password and secret question. Remember the secret question, otherwise, if you forget the password, you will not be able to restore access. In addition, the service will ask for your date of birth and consent to receive mailings.
WARNING: The AppStore service only accepts passwords that meet the following requirements:
- at least 8 characters;
- contains uppercase, lowercase letters and numbers;
- without spaces;
- characters are not repeated more than 3 in a row.
Next, enter your credit card details. Since some of the applications are paid, the AppStore immediately attaches your card to the ID. Please note that Cirrus Maestro and Electron electronic cards are not accepted here. That's all, click "next", after which it remains only to confirm the registration via e-mail.

In case you need to register an iPhone where wi-fi is not at hand, let's figure out how to register an iPhone in iTunes.
Alas, we do not always have the opportunity to connect our iPhone to the network, but this is not a reason to deny ourselves registration on the App Store. It is enough to download the iTunes program (you can take it at www.apple.com/en/itunes) on your computer (not just Mac), install and run it.
Find the "iTunes Store" button in the upper right corner and click it. Now we select the item "Create a new account" - "Continue", and then the sequence of actions will be the same as when registering an iPhone directly. By the way, the possibility of registering without a bank card is also available here.
Well, now you know how to discover the extraordinary world of iPhone applications. Believe me, with the App Store and itunes your smartphone will delight even more.
If you have your own Apple ID account, the possibilities are almost unlimited. Access to the app store, cloud, and so on. However, there is one small or big obstacle - you need a credit card, with which you pay for the installation of special applications that are paid. How can I register with or without a credit card in iTunes? We provide you with instructions that will allow you to create an account with the parameters that you want to have.
Registering in iTunes with a credit card
For the uninitiated in the subtleties of the possibilities of modern gadgets, it does not matter, additional functions. Therefore, it is worth explaining what you can get with iTunes. The user has a unique opportunity to download books, movies, music, various interesting applications to the smartphone. If you intend to download paid applications (content), you need funds to pay. Therefore, a credit card is attached to the Apple ID. Now the latest movies, music releases and more are available to the smartphone user. It should be noted that paying by credit card is very convenient.
But sometimes there are situations when convenience and problem are almost the same. Let's take an example. You gave your child an iPhone and, accordingly, attached a credit card to an Apple ID. To celebrate, he, in turn, began to acquire a bunch of content. After all, he needs everything and everything is interesting. The result is useless content on your offspring's smartphone and you have an empty credit card. Do you want to avoid such a situation, save yourself from unnecessary expenses? We recommend signing up for iTunes without attaching a credit card. You can attach it when you really need to purchase useful content for money.
First registration option
To begin with, we will tell you how to register with a credit card. First way:
- On the Apple website, we need to go to the "Manage your Apple ID" section;
- Click on the link "Create an Apple ID";
- In the appropriate fields, enter the email address and other data required by the program;
- We leave answers to control (mandatory) questions;
- If there is such a need, put a tick next to receiving special offers and announcements.
The next step is to enter the security code, then click "Continue". To confirm the creation of an Apple ID, you need to use the code that will be sent to your email. After completing all the above steps, you will become the owner of the account in a few seconds. After that, it remains to enter account information into the devices and start using new features. From now on, you will be able to access services such as the iTunes Store, AppStore, iCloud and many others from your gadgets.
It's time to link the credit card. To do this, you need to log in to your account from a computer. In the "Payment and delivery" section, click "Add a card" and specify the details of the credit card. By linking a payment instrument, you have the opportunity to download not only free content, but also paid content.
Attention! During registration, it is important to responsibly answer the control questions. Each of these questions requires an answer. Otherwise, you will not be able to register.
Second option
To be able to register in the AppStore and, accordingly, buy the necessary products, you need to install iTunes on your PC and download any paid application. At some point, you will be asked to enter your Apple ID. This is required to gain access to the purchase. If an account has already been created, just enter the data with a password and proceed with the purchase.
In the event that you have not had time to use the method described above and have not yet registered, it is possible to do this after iTunes prompts you to enter your account information. To do this, click on "Create an Apple ID" and go through the registration procedure step by step. In the paragraph about the payment method, you will need to indicate the type of credit card (MasterCard, American Express, VISA). Confirmation of registration is carried out using a control code that will be sent to you by mail. After all the manipulations, you will have a personal account with a credit card attached to it.
Third option
If you are at home, then in principle there can be no problems. The computer is next to you. But what if there was no PC or laptop at hand? But even in this case, the problem can be solved. We can register an account using iPod touch, iPad or iPhone. To get the result, go to the AppStore and try to download something paid. Given that you have not yet registered, you will be prompted to go through this procedure.
In this case, the registration process is no different from the actions carried out on the computer. It is enough just to follow step by step all the instructions that appear on the display. When prompted for a means of payment, enter the type of credit card as you would on a computer. Then we confirm by the code and we can safely use the account for our own purposes, including making a purchase of content.
Attention! It is important to note that the terms "credit card" and "credit card" mean any banking payment product. In this case, it can be both credit and debit cards of payment systems of different categories.
How to register in iTunes without a card
Given the negative example described above with an attached card, as well as the presence of many scammers on the network that can pull hard-earned savings from a bank card, many users are in no hurry to attach it. To some extent, they are indeed right. Especially considering the current situation.
If you belong to this category of users, then registration without a card is suitable for you. Many are sure that linking a credit card is required and there are no other registration options. We tell you that this opinion is erroneous. Using the provided functionality, we can easily register with iTunes without a card. You can do this on a computer, laptop or smartphone.

As soon as you are prompted to enter your Apple ID details, immediately click on "Create Apple ID". After that, you need to specify the email address (mail), first name, last name, password, give answers to security questions. Where it asks for a payment method, select "No".
At the very end of registration, you need to confirm the creation of an account using the verification code that will be sent to the mail, and complete the procedure. As a result, we get the account we need without a bank card tied to it.
Attention! So, you already have an account, but the card is not linked to it. You also need access to paid applications. You do not need to create another account, just link the payment instrument to an existing one. You can do this any time you need to.
If you are reading this article, you should be congratulated - you have bought a brand new iOS device and now you need to set it up, in particular, create an Apple ID (Apple ID) account, which will help you fully reveal the functionality of the gadget.
This article will show you how to create an Apple ID on an iPhone, but you can also use this guide to create a personal account on any other iOS device.
However, let's start in order and understand the concepts - what is an Apple ID and why registering this identifier is so necessary.
Apple ID is a personal account unique for each iOS user that allows you to access all the Apple giant's proprietary services, including the App Store, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc.
Of course, you can exist without an Apple ID, but in this case there is a very correct word - to live in full force, as they say, without a personal iPhone account will not be able to. See for yourself, without an Apple ID it is impossible even to download applications in the App Store, that is, you will only have access to “native” pre-installed programs, the range of which is difficult to call wide and comprehensive. Apple doesn’t preinstall even the most popular social networks, so without an ID, you will have to watch fresh photos on Instagram exclusively through a browser.
As for other Apple services, here, too, you can suffer serious losses. Don't have an Apple ID? So you can't send messages via iMessage and call via FaceTime for free. And you can’t access iCloud cloud storage, activate the Find My iPhone option, and so on and so forth. In short, wherever you go, you need an Apple ID everywhere.
How to create an Apple ID on iPhone?
However, there is no need to worry, because creating an Apple ID takes very little time. Many, however, are frightened that when registering an identifier, you need to provide bank card details, which is logical, because you need to buy applications for something. However, there are many users who are afraid to enter card details and the inability to buy a program or content does not bother them. Just for these users, we have great news - entering payment information is completely optional, and in our guide we will tell you how to "skip" this step.
Well, let's figure out how to register an Apple ID. It is worth noting that there are two ways to perform this procedure - registration can be carried out directly from the iPhone, or you can use the “intermediary” - the iTunes program. We will give instructions for both the first and second methods, however, we note that there will be practically no differences in them. That is, the choice of one or a new method of creating an Apple ID account will be determined only by the fact with which device it is more convenient for you to work - if it is easier to use the i-device directly, then read the first instruction, but if PC and iTunes are “closer”, then the second .
Registering an Apple ID from an iOS device
So, first of all, since in our opinion it’s easier, we’ll tell you how to create an Apple ID from an iPhone. It doesn’t matter if you have a brand new iPhone 7 or another model, the instructions will be the same:
As soon as the account is activated, the application that you selected in step 1 of the instructions will start downloading.
