iPhone 13 mini What happens if I sell my iPhone and remove my Apple account?

[scaramoosh]

My iPhone is my last Apple device, I'm fully getting away from Apple but I still want the ability to login to my account. I was wondering if I have no Apple device how do I log into my account? Just it always asks for a security pin that goes to my iPhone when I login to the browser.

Thanks.

Isn’t that assuming that you have at least one other Apple device though? This person isn’t going to have any Apple products. Unless I didn’t understand that Apple webpage correctly.

I found this topic interesting because I’m planning to abandon Apple unless they bring back rounded sides on the iPhone so this is good information for me to know.

As long as you still have the Trusted Phone Number, you can sign in. Without that you could get locked out.

What I think needs to happen, before removing your last Apple device from your account (aka Trusted Devices), register trusted phone numbers in account.apple.com under Account Security. Then remove the last device from the account.

I've got my Google Voice number and a family member's landline registered under there should I lose access to all my Apple widgets.

Thanks, I'll keep security sim as my phone has two sim slots. I dunno why two sims never took off in the west, it's fantastic being able to have business and personal sims on one phone.
