Hi. I have this question. I took an iphone x from my nephew (he bough the same with more memory and other color, extremly spoiled kid but its his parents fault). He gave it to me after he reset it to factory settings. The thing is i cant create apple id because he already created 3 accounts from that same device. I dont know why and when i ask him to give me one he refuses, he was using them. So what can i do in order to use the phone (i mean apps and so on) I've never had iphone before and i dont have other Apple devices. I read that i can create apple id from other device. But the thing is i am on a truck right now i and wont have access to secured computer in the next couple weeks. Can i create apple id from this phone somehow? Probably without icloud, can i create gmail account and set it to be apple id? He told me (nephew) i would need to add payment method thats not a problem i have card on my name with me. But i dont have computer or other device in my apart from this phone. So any suggestions? Thanks

  1. Open a web browser on another device (or Safari on the device in question) and go to this webpage to create a new Apple ID at apple.com
  2. Go through the process of creating a new Apple ID and iCloud account as usual, you’ll need to use an email account that is not otherwise associated with an Apple account (if you forgot your Apple ID or password, reset it with these instructionsinstead)
[doublepost=1516041684][/doublepost]From what i found on the web, when i set up the iphone i would countine without creating apple id, than go to Safari and create new apple id from there with gmail email is that right? Than i will add my payment card and it will work just as fine. I dont need icloud for this matter. Will it work?
