My biggest concern is that these days it seems like apple ID is used as a proof of ownership (more than having the actual device in my hands) and by messing with birth dates and such it will create some hassle later on in the device's life cycle: device lost, password resets, sale, etc etcĪlso, apple ID seems to be connected to device's serial number.

Seems like it would work, but has anyone tried it? What could go wrong with that approach? For example, one thing that came to mind is that I could do option 1) and then create child's account from the iPad, signout of apple ID and then re-sign in with the child account. Is there option 3) that I haven't considered?. What are the negative consequences of this approach? What are the negative consequences of this approach?ġc) Use child's First name, Last name and fake birthday of 18+

Am I understanding this right? Maybe this name and age will not always show up? Maybe it can be overwritten by display names and other settings? What are the limits and flexibilities here? For example, I want that when my child is using iMessage, Facetime etc it shows up with child's name, not mine.ġb) Use child's First name, Last name and fake birthday of 13+. Now, back to option 1) there are several sub options here:ġa) Use my First name, Last name and my birthday and just live with the fact that when my child is interacting with others it's under my name. will that help somehow to bootstrap me? Emulators? Virtualization? Hackintosh? I'm guessing not, but had to ask. Is there another way? Brainstorming here: I have root access to apple hardware at work including apple IDs, but those devices don't belong to me. I really, really don't want to do option 2) in the next year or two.

Continue setup on iPad and use child's Apple ID Then create a child's Apple ID linked to mine for use on iPad.
