I have an iMac, a Mac Book Pro, an iPad Mini, an iPhone, and an Ultra Watch.
I'd like to change the email associated with my Apple ID and know how to do so at the Apple ID page.
My question is how much of a pain is it to change the email in all of these Apple devices?
Do I have to log out of iCloud then log back in on each device using the new email associated with my Apple ID, or can I just edit the email on each device?
Many thanks for any enlightenment on this subject.
 
Well, I've never done it before, so I'm not sure, but I'd imagine for security reasons, those devices would detect the credentials had changed and automatically log you out. You might as well just go for it, because even if that's the case, it's really not that big of a deal to log back in on each device (unless you have hundreds of devices or something, lol!). It's not like you're going to change your Apple ID email frequently either.
