Here are some Apple ID related FAQs you may concern about when transferring one Apple ID to another one.

Can I Access Purchases on New Apple Account?

No. You can’t access purchased songs, apps and any other items on new account. Or you can use Family Sharing to share purchased items with your family. If necessary, you can use AOMEI FoneBackup to transfer purchased songs between two iPhones using different Apple IDs.

How to Deal with Old Apple ID?

If you no longer use your old Apple ID, you can choose to delete it permanently. Once your Apple ID account is deleted, the account details and data associated with your Apple ID will also be permanently deleted from Apple servers. That’s to say, your photos, videos, texts, and other content stored in iCloud will be permanently deleted and you cannot sign in or use iCloud, App Store, iTunes Store, Apple messages, FaceTime calls, and Find My iPhone, etc.

Deleting your Apple ID is a permanent action. Once your account is deleted, Apple cannot reopen or reactivate your account, nor can it recover your data. If you already have your data backed up, then you can go to Apple Data and Privacy website (https://privacy.apple.com/) to delete the account.
