When you turn an iPhone into an iPod touch

Reader Robert Williams would like some clarification about the relationship between his iOS devices and Apple ID. He writes:</p>

My iTunes ID and password are now associated with my new iPhone 5s. The old iPhone (an iPhone 5) still connects to my home Wi-Fi network, but in order to download new apps, I need to enter my iTunes ID and password on the old phone. I’m concerned that if I enter my iTunes ID and password on that phone, iTunes will consider it to be my primary device and at the same time disable my new phone from iTunes. Is this a danger, particularly when I’ve also associated that ID with an iPad and MacBook Pro?

Not at all. Let me explain.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2878068/when-you-turn-an-iphone-into-an-ipod-touch.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
