On your PC computer, Android device, or non-Apple tablet, open up your web browser
Navigate to the search bar and enter; http://appleid.apple.com/.
Next, click the “Create Your Apple ID” link.
In the sign-up form, type in your name and password. Then provide all the necessary information that is required by Apple like your name, location and birthday in the correct fields.
Type in your current email. This will be your Apple ID. Apple will send a verification code to ensure that his email address belongs to you. It’s not possible to create an Apple ID without this code.
Next, it’s time to set up a reliable password. Apple ID passwords are required to be at least 8 characters. Do not use easily guessed passwords such as 00000000. A strong password will prevent you from Apple ID scams and security breaches.
Apple will then ask you to choose three security questions. Your answers will be used for password reset. You may be able to reset your security questions if you change your mind.
When finished, solve the captcha and hit Continue.
You then need to be on the lookout for a verification code that will be emailed to you. Once you have it, head back over to the webpage and enter it to create your account.

And there, you have it, you have just created an Apple ID without an iPhone or Apple device!

Numbers app is similar to Excel and Google’s Sheets. You can create spreadsheets and use all of the different functions for free. Pages is similar to Word or Google Docs and you’ll also have access to all of the features for free. Finally, you can use Keynotes which is handy free presentation software.

When you use these features, your files will be saved onto your computer and not iCloud like they would if you had an iCloud account. Still, it’s nice to be able to use these free apps from Apple, even if you don’t have an iPhone!
