You don't have to have a new phone to create a new Apple ID, but you do need a phone number different than what is on your current Apple ID.


If you create/use a new Apple ID, you will lose access to some of your data and the purchases made with your existing Apple ID.


Apple ID - create a new.      *


Apple ID – Create   -


Apple ID - Could Not Create or Could Not Set Up iCloud message.    *


You can try setting up Family Sharing between the IDs if you want to be able to share purchases made with the IDs.
