Apple ID
Your Apple ID is the account you use for just about everything you do with Apple, including storing
your content in iCloud, downloading apps from the App Store, streaming Apple Music content, and
buying music, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store.
If you already have an Apple ID, use it when you first set up iPhone, and whenever you need to sign
in to use an Apple service. If you don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one whenever
you’re asked to sign in. You only need one Apple ID for everything you do with Apple.

iCloud
iCloud offers free mail, contacts, calendar, and other features that you can set up simply by signing in
to iCloud with your Apple ID, then making sure that the features you want to use are turned on.
Set up iCloud. Go to Settings > iCloud. Create an Apple ID if needed, or use your existing one.
iCloud stores your photos and videos, documents, music, calendars, contacts, News favorites and
saved stories, and more. Content stored in iCloud is pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices
and computers signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
