For people who are constantly involved in the web3 community, it is common to not be able to download the apps we need from the Apple Store in the country. In this case, we need a non-mainland ID, but many people think that they cannot register without a phone number from another country. However, a mainland +86 phone number can also be used to register. We just need a phone number and an email address. The preparation includes having a phone number, an email address, accessing the Apple ID website, and using a US address generator. To register, go to the Apple ID website, create an ID, fill in the first name and last name in English, select the country as the US, enter a birth date over 18 years old, enter an email address as the Apple ID account, set a password, and confirm it. Enter a phone number (a mainland number is sufficient), select SMS as the verification method, enter the verification code, and continue. After filling in two verification codes, the ID is registered. Next, verify the payment information, as without it, you will not be able to download any apps from the App Store. Use a second website to verify the payment information and choose a tax-free state to save costs. Generate an address for the chosen state and select "none" as the payment method in the Apple ID payment information. Fill in the other address details and complete the registration.

For those who often frequent the web3 community, it is common to encounter situations where we cannot download the apps we need from the Apple Store in the Chinese region. In such cases, we need a non-mainland ID. However, many people may think that they cannot register without a phone number from another country. Actually, that's not true. A mainland Chinese phone number with the country code +86 can also be used for registration. We only need a phone number and an email address.
