What is the difference between switching Apple IDs and changing Apple IDs?

First we need to understand the difference between these two statements.
Switching Apple IDs means using a different account on your iPhone or Mac. This makes it easy for different users to access the mobile app to use different content, sync settings, or make purchases. It’s also useful if you sell your old device to someone else.

Changing your Apple ID means using the same account but changing your email address and/or password. You can do this if you want to update contact information, log in with another device, or reset your password.

In comparison, switching ID is very simple, just log out and let others log in to Apple ID, so here we need to learn how to change Apple ID.

Things you need to know before changing your Apple ID

Before you want to change your Apple ID to a new email address, there are a few key points to note:

If you try to change your Apple ID email address to “@icloud.com” that was created within the last 30 days, please wait 30 days before changing it again.
When trying to change your Apple ID, if you see a notification that the address you’re trying to use is unavailable or is in use, make sure you or any of your family members aren’t already using that address.
If you’re already using Apple’s Apple ID (the address suffix is @iCloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com), you can’t switch back to a third-party email address.
