JAKARTA - Apple has announced that starting next month, Apple ID will be renamed "Apple Account." This change will take effect after the launch of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia in the fall of this year.

Although the name has changed, Apple ID's function will not change, and users can still use it to access various Apple services such as the App Store, iCloud, and others.

Apple stated that this name change aims to provide a more consistent entry experience on all Apple devices and services. However, users are expected to be aware of potential phishing scams that can take advantage of confusion during this transitional period.

As an Apple user, it's important to know that "Apple Account" is a new term that replaces "Apple ID," so there is no confusion when dealing with documentation or communications from Apple in the future.

If you are usually a source of technology information for your family or friends, this may be the right time to tell them about this change so that everything remains informed.
