'Apple ID' will be changed to 'Apple Account'; major change to happen with iOS 18 update

Apple is speculated to change the name of its "Apple ID" to "Apple Account" on the release of iOS 18 update. The reason for this name switch is not clear but the main reason could be to make things simpler, like the way Google calls their accounts for Android phones "Google Accounts".

According to reports, this name change could take place later this year. It is expected that Apple might announce the same at the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June and roll it out with iOS 18 update, possibly in September with the launch of iPhone 16 series.
