Apple ID to Be Renamed to Apple Account
Adam Engst, TidBITS:
The real problem comes when tech writers document features across
multiple versions of Apple’s operating systems. We’ll probably use
both terms for a while before slowly standardizing on the new
term. Blame Apple if you see awkward sentences like “Continuity
features require that you be logged into the same Apple Account
(Apple ID in pre-2024 operating systems).” Or maybe writers will
compress further to “Continuity features require that you be
logged into the same Apple Account/ID.”
I do think “Apple Account” is a better name, so I think the transitional pain is worthwhile.
