iCloud Change iCloud email address?

[sunny5]

I have no idea why but I keep getting spam emails for a long time on iCloud email account. Currently, my main email replaced iCloud email because of this.

Today, I checked iCloud for the first time and it's such a mess. Since I keep getting spams no matter how many times I delete them, I wonder if I can slightly change my iCloud email address? Otherwise, I have to deal with this forever!

Do you think Apple is willing to change iCloud email address?

No, Apple won’t change your iCloud email address, but you can create up to 3 email aliases for your main iCloud account. It also helps to make sure each spam email gets marked as junk too, and check that you’re using the strongest junk email settings.

Add and manage email aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com

In Mail on iCloud.com, create email aliases to help keep your real email address private.

You don’t have to do it forever, if you ever look at the fine print at the bottom of each email, spam or not they have to be obligated to have a link to let unsubscribe. An easy alternative 9/10 ?
It sucks but it’s a guaranteed way to stop it and they can be sneaky and creative by hiding it, just look for a blue highlighted hyperlink ??

Clicking the unsubscribe link on spam and junk mail is a pretty surefire way to confirm your email address and other info to the sender, just what you don’t want to do. And even if it’s a legitimate sender/company, there’s no guarantee they will honor the request.

If it’s in your inbox at that rate they already have your email but you are right all they do is give it to another company to send out more spam.
Legit retailers will stop Though, it’s easier to prevent the controlable and just flat out set the persistent ones as phishing/junk.

If you haven't been using it I don't see any reason to bother. iCloud email is at the bottom of the rankings when you compare email provider features.
