Apple Support, in a new support article dated today:
If an Apple Account is only used for making purchases, those purchases can be migrated to a primary Apple Account to consolidate them.
Connected listeners will know I recently went through an ordeal with my setup because I was not using my primary Apple Account for purchases.1 There are a lot of steps to this process, but it’s great to see Apple have a tool for folks wanting leave a legacy Apple Account behind.
As for me, I moved “Legacy Stephen” into our iCloud Family for now, but could unwind that if I ever wanted to simply migrate purchases out of that old account entirely.
- I am pretty sure that means I get to take credit for this news. ↩
