 It's trivial to generate an AppleID which has nothing to do with
your personal info. I have different AppleIDs which I use
depending on what I want to do. This would include AppleIDs used
for business purposes.

 None of you ignorant uneducated Apple trolls knows anything about
Apple.
 Only on Apple devices is not only privacy impossible, but you need
to carry two different devices with you at all times to log into the
Apple Account.

No. You don't.

 Since all you MAGA zealots are ignorant of everything you speak of,
it used to be that you could generate an "Apple ID" without any
useful information being supplied. Later, Apple enforced the address
had to be real and match the zip code for the Apple ID, but it could
be anyone's address and zip code.

This is false.

 But as of April of 2019, Apple started requiring that the zip code
match the billing address of your credit or debit card, where your
billing address could be bogus, but the zip code had to be valid for
that address.

Since I don't have to provide a credit or debit card to create an Apple
Account, this is also false.

 At that time, 2FA was optional, although there was a lawsuit that
Apple won where people who didn't opt out within the required grace
period were stuck with 2FA forever.

Cite, please!

 By late 2023, Apple began requiring 2FA for nearly all newly created
Apple IDs where there is no opt-out for newer devices. If your
device runs iOS 11 or macOS High Sierra or later, 2FA is
automatically enabled for new accounts and cannot be turned off once
activated.

That is (I believe) true.

 Keep in mind that on June 11, 2024, Apple changed the terms of the
"Apple ID" which they then termed the "Apple Account".

And?

 As of September 2024, Apple expanded 2FA availability to nearly
every country and region, making the 2FA requirement a global
standard.
 Bear in mind that of the possible methods for authentication, which
Apple will require every time you log into the Apple Account (or
change settings), the phone *must* be real and it cannot be a VOIP
number.

Nope. This is all Apple says on the subject:
'Make sure you enter a phone number you can always access. It will be
used to verify your identity any time you sign in on a new device or web
browser. Messaging or data rates may apply.'
<https://account.apple.com/account#!&page%3Dcreate>

 The fact that Wolfan claims he used a VOIP number, if he did at all,
would indicate he did this looooooong ago, as Apple will only accept
real phones.

'Make sure you enter a phone number you can always access. It will be
used to verify your identity any time you sign in on a new device or web
browser. Messaging or data rates may apply.'
Nothing about what type of phone it is.

 Apple's policies are absurd that you need to carry with you at all
times TWO devices, where even if you don't have a mobile phone with
you at all times, Apple can send codes to other Apple devices signed
in with your account.

'Make sure you enter a phone number you can always access. It will be
used to verify your identity any time you sign in on a new device or web
browser. Messaging or data rates may apply.'

 Only on Apple devices is not only privacy impossible, but you need
to carry two different devices with you at all times to log into the
Apple Account.
 

And, oh, ancient iPads still work fine around here. With their
apps. No, apps do not die on older iPads.

 None of you ignorant uneducated Apple trolls knows anything about
Apple.
 If you don't have an Apple ID on the device, then you can update the
OS. But you can't update the apps.

So have an AppleID

 If you update the OS version, at some point, one by one, the apps
will start crashing (which we proved already for you Apple MAGA
morons).
 Not one of you ignorant uneducated MAGA Apple trolls knows anything
about how Apple works - particularly when you don't put an Apple
Account on the device.
