Got a new MacBook, went to install a free app in the App Store. Asked to sign in, then setup iTunes account, then sign in again, then setup iTunes account, <repeat> I ended up using Music do to the iTunes store setup, since the App Store is apparently not on Apple's QA list🙄

Crazy thing, this is a brand new MacBook, with a brand new Apple ID, and the very first thing I did was try to install this free app. It's not like I did anything complicated or was bringing a decade of Apple setup baggage with me. How QA missed this is a head scratcher 🤔

There’s still something called iTunes?

Apparently that’s what they call the service that processes payments. It’s distinct and different from the service they call Apple ID. And you have to create and link the two if you want to be able to buy from Apple, including downloading free apps.
