Why do you need an Apple ID?

When you purchase a new Apple device, you can sign in with your Apple ID to store and access all of your personal data in iCloud, including files, photos, contacts, and calendars. Previous purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and Apple Music can be downloaded. If you ever misplace a device, you can track it down by using the find my app. With so many features and personal information, your Apple ID is also your account for iMessage and FaceTime.
