You can sign in to iCloud using Apple account. You don’t need to create a separate account to sign in to iCloud account. We have a detailed article on ‘how to create Apple ID?’. In this post, we are going to guide you on creating a new @iCloud email account.
Making a free iCloud email account is an easy process and can be completed within a few minutes. But you can’t sign up for iCloud using PC or Android; you need to use either iOS or Mac OS.

Before you update iOS, make a backup of your device. To update it wirelessly;

2. Tap settings.
3. Tap General and go to ‘Software update’.
