As someone who had to support Apple products at an enterprise level, kindly fuck off. Trying to explain that an appleid is a users apple account is annoying as fuck, and they don’t remember it because it’s not labeled as an account, then bitch at the person trying to help them about long password reset process’s (or losing their data). Particularly when dealing with people with known anger issues that have the power to fire you on a whim.
Standard terminology exists for a damn good reason. This is a very welcome change.
I agree with you. It’s not identity, it’s an account. Laypersons are used to drivers licenses (IDs) and bank accounts. The rename is definitely a welcome change and makes Apple consistent with Microsoft and Google etc.
