No, changing your Apple ID will not cause you to lose your apps. Your apps are tied to your Apple ID account, so if you change your Apple ID, you change the Apple ID associated with your App Store. You will need to sign in with the new Apple ID to access and download apps, updates, and make purchases. Rest assured, your previous purchases and app downloads will not be lost, but you may need to re-download them using the new Apple ID.

However, it is important to note that any purchases or in-app purchases made with the old Apple ID will not transfer to the new Apple ID, so you may need to repurchase those items if needed.

How to Sign Into A New Apple ID:

• Go to Settings and tap the user name that says Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store.
• Scroll down to locate the Sign Out button.
• Enter your password to verify your identity.
• Then, choose your desired data to create a backup, such as contacts, calendars, etc.
• Tap Sign Out again and confirm the action.
• Finally, you can create and sign in with your new Apple ID.

Before you change your Apple ID, it's crucial to back up any important data or information. This step is to ensure that you don't lose any valuable data during the process. EaseUS MobiMover can back up your iPhone to a computer, USB stick, or external hard drive. Also, if you have iCloud data, it supports one click to export your data from iCloud to your PC.

How to Back Up iPhone to PC:

• Launch EaseUS MobiMover and connect your iPhone to your PC.
• Click Backup Manager > Back Up. Select the data you want to export and back up.
• Customize the location path to store the backup file. Click One-Click Backup to start the process.
