Later this year, the Apple ID service will see a major redesign that users will have to get familiar with once available. This redesign will change the service’s name from Apple ID as we currently know it to Apple Account. News of this coming change started becoming popular a few weeks ago, and now more sources are confirming this coming change to the service.
Netizens will get to see this change arrive on their Apple devices later this year. This change will come not only on Apple devices but also on the tech giant’s online platforms across its ecosystem. For Apple devices, users will get to receive this redesign via a major OS update which is to come in the months ahead.
Devices such as the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV streaming box, Apple Vision Pro, and so on will get this change via their various OS upgrades. For the iPhone and iPad, we expect to see a preview of their coming OS upgrades in June. This is expected to happen at the WWDC 2024 event, where Apple invites developers using their services to experience what’s coming to their various products via software upgrades.
Already we are seeing some cues that are pointing to this change on various Apple devices. For instance, users see the “Apple Account balance” on their Apple ID, which refers to the total amount of money in their account. Aside from a name change, there might be other notable things about Apple Account as it launches later this year.
The Apple ID service launched about 20 years ago and has been part of the brand’s identity to its users. For some, seeing this change might be a difficult one, but the benefits of this change will make it worthwhile. In the coming months, we expect to see this change hit Apple devices around the world.
