Is it possible to create an iCloud email
Yes, you can create an iCloud.com email address even if you originally created your Apple ID using a Gmail address and a Windows PC. Here's how: Go to iCloud.com/mail and sign in with your Apple ID (which is your Gmail address). If you see a "Create Email Address" option, click on it and follow the on-screen instructions to create your iCloud.com email address. If you see your inbox instead, it means you already have an iCloud email address associated with your Apple ID. More on reddit.com

r/apple on Reddit: Create New iCloud Email address and Update Apple ID to use it
March 4, 2023 -

Hello,

I cant get a straight answer to this question and I've spent hours trying to research online. I've had my current apple ID (which is an @ icloud.com email address) for over a decade. Due to using that email for logins for so long and all of the data breaches that happen daily these days I now get around 200+ spam emails per day. Now that Hide My Email is a thing, etc I want a fresh start and want to change my appleID to a new icloud email address.

What I cant seem to confirm is if I sign into appleid.apple.com and click on the top left "Apple ID" tile to change my apple ID:

  1. Will I be able to enter the new icloud.com email address I want created?

  2. If so, and I proceed with changing my apple id will the original email still be available and linked to the account so that I have time to switch over to it?

For example if my current AppleID is [email protected] and I sign into appleid.apple.com and click Apple ID and enter [email protected] will it create that email address and change my appleid over to [email protected] and then I'll still have access to [email protected]?
