Do you need a second Apple ID?
A second Apple ID is another account, with its own country, purchases, and payment method. You do not need one just to look at another store.
Store Switch 不会更改你的 Apple ID 国家或地区。它用来打开另一个 App Store，查看评分、评论和排行。购买、订阅和账户国家仍由你的 Apple ID 决定。
第二个 Apple ID 用来做什么
第二个 Apple ID 是另一个 Apple 账户。它有自己的国家或地区、自己的购买、自己的订阅和自己的余额。想让购买留在一个已经设成其他国家的账户上，又不想改每天在用的那个 Apple ID 时，才会再做一个。
Apple 关于「更改国家时不填写付款方式」的说明范围很窄：人已经在新的国家或地区，然后在当地新建一个 Apple 账户。为此做的第二个 Apple ID 仍然是一个有真实国家的 Apple 账户。Store Switch 不会创建它，本页也不提供地址或付款方式。
多个 Apple ID
Apple 允许 iCloud 用一个 Apple ID，「媒体与购买项目」用另一个。购买、订阅和 App 更新会跟随媒体与购买项目的账户，iCloud 资料跟随另一个。退出「媒体与购买项目」就是在更换商店所用的账户。因此多个 Apple ID 会把资料库拆到不同的登录里。如果只是想看排行，这并不合适。
放在一起看
| 第二个 Apple ID | Store Switch | |
|---|---|---|
| 评分、评论和排行 | 可以，但要先用那个账户登录购买项目 | 可以。打开商店页面时，当前 Apple ID 保持登录 |
| 在那个国家购买 | 可以，前提是那个 Apple ID 的国家有售 | 不行。购买跟随你当前的 Apple ID |
| 退出 App Store | 通常需要，用来切换媒体与购买项目 | 不需要 |
| 订阅和余额 | 各自留在各自的账户上 | 留在你已经在用的账户上 |
| Apple ID 国家 | 那个账户被设成的国家 | Store Switch 不会更改你的 Apple ID 国家。 |
你实际要解决的是哪一个问题
- 需要购买并持续更新另一个国家的 App：这是 Apple 账户上的决定。要么接受 更改国家，要么自己管理一个第二个 Apple ID。
- 只需要阅读另一个商店：用 Store Switch，不必多一个登录。请看 不退出登录，打开其他国家的 App Store。
在手机上打开这个商店
Store Switch 可在 App Store 免费下载。选一个地区，打开那个商店，Apple ID 的国家留在原地。

相关指南
Store Switch does not change your Apple ID country. It opens another App Store so you can read ratings, reviews, and charts. Purchases, subscriptions, and the account country still follow your Apple ID.
What a second Apple ID is for
A second Apple ID is another Apple Account. It has its own country or region, its own purchases, its own subscriptions, and its own balance. People create one when they want purchases to live on an account that is already set to another country, instead of moving the Apple ID they use every day.
Apple’s own note about skipping a payment method on a country change is narrow: be physically in the new country or region, then create a new Apple Account. A second Apple ID made for that purpose is still an Apple account, with a real country. Store Switch does not create one, and this page does not supply an address or a payment method.
Multiple Apple IDs
Apple lets you use one Apple ID for iCloud and a different one for Media & Purchases. Purchases, subscriptions, and app updates then follow the Media & Purchases account. iCloud data follows the other. Signing out of Media & Purchases is how that store account is swapped. Multiple Apple IDs therefore split the library across logins. They are a poor fit if the only goal is to read a chart.
Side by side
| Second Apple ID | Store Switch | |
|---|---|---|
| Ratings, reviews, and charts | Yes, once that account is signed in for purchases | Yes. Open the storefront while your current Apple ID stays signed in |
| Buy in that country | Yes, if that Apple ID’s country sells the item | No. Purchases follow your current Apple ID |
| Sign out of the App Store | Usually required, to switch Media & Purchases | Not required |
| Subscriptions and balance | Kept separately on each account | Left on the account you already have |
| Apple ID country | Whichever country that account was given | Store Switch does not change your Apple ID country. |
Which problem you actually have
- You need to buy and keep updating apps from another country: that is an Apple account decision, either a country change on an account you accept moving, or a second Apple ID you are willing to manage.
- You need to read another store: use Store Switch and skip the extra login. See foreign App Store without signing out.
Open the storefront on your iPhone
Store Switch is free on the App Store. Pick a region, open that store, and leave the Apple ID country where it is.
