Apple ID is now called Apple Account
Apple Account is the new name for Apple ID. The same account signs you in to App Store, iCloud and other Apple services. The name change does not create a new account type. See Apple’s explanation.
XGroup supplies a prepared personal account with no previous user use, fully transferred with inbox access and an SMS login code. The period of number access depends on the package.
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Apple ID / Apple Account | The account used to sign in to Apple services. |
| App Store | The app marketplace. Purchases are separate from the account price. |
| iCloud | A cloud service for data storage and synchronization. |
| iCloud+ | A paid subscription with extra storage and features. |
What App Store is for
App Store lets you find and download apps. Extra features and in-app subscriptions follow the product’s own terms. Check the developer’s information and Apple’s in-app purchase guide.
The account and purchased apps
Your full XGroup account lets you buy apps, subscribe and add funds yourself. Paid apps, active subscriptions and balance are not included in the account price.
For a specific app, start by choosing the region and checking its listing and requirements.
What iCloud is for
iCloud stores and synchronizes data and backups using your Apple Account. An “iCloud account” usually means that same Apple account, rather than a separate login.
iCloud and iCloud+
iCloud+ is a paid subscription with additional storage and features. Its plans are listed by Apple Support. It is not included with an XGroup account; subscribe yourself if needed.
What account activation means
An XGroup account is activated on a real Mac and is a full account in the Apple ecosystem. Transfer includes the account, inbox access and an SMS login code.
Account activation and device messages
The maximum free accounts message concerns the number of accounts set up for iCloud on a device in one year. Apple explains the causes and next steps in its dedicated guide. This is a separate question from the contents of your account purchase.
If a problem occurs, save the exact message and note whether it appeared during sign-in, service setup or device activation. This helps support assess your case.
Choose an account for your needs
For a catalog, choose the country and check the app. For a paid service, consider its subscription separately. For account access, compare the number access period and support.
Lite — $4, Standart — $7, Pro — $10. Lite provides 1–3 days of number access without region selection; report an account problem within the first 24 hours for prompt replacement. Standart provides 4–20 days, selection and registration using your details. Pro provides 21+ days, priority delivery or registration and fast support responses.
Linking your own number ends the seller’s warranty. The days do not indicate account age or lifetime. See the region catalog or the region change guide for an existing account.
Account and service questions
Do App Store and iCloud need separate accounts?
Apple Account works with both services. Choose your XGroup product by its transfer contents, region and package.
Are apps and subscriptions included?
No. You can buy apps, subscribe and add funds yourself. These purchases and balance are not included in the account price.
Is 4–20 days the account lifetime?
No. It is the period of access to the supplied number with Standart. The account is transferred for your personal use; number and support periods follow your package.
