Very odd response…either you do or you don’t. I’m not interested in dragging this conversation out. Your conduct isn’t helping out the PG community. If it is true that an iOS device can be set up without an Apple ID, please explain in detail.
I just would like to avoid sharing this info for…privacy reasons.
That’s besides the point, plenty of resources are already available on how to achieve that[1].
Quick search gave me this: How to Set up iPhone Without Apple ID [Solved]
Looks up to date enough and how I remember it being.
Moreover, I am patient enough here to even take the time to reply to something that could be found out in mere seconds on any search engine.
So please bear with me not disclosing things I do not want to share. 
EDIT[2]: if you feel endangered by using any kind of search engine or even opening a website, here is a screenshot of the link posted above
Feel free to use any search engine of course, no need for it to be specifically Google.
I don’t use Google Search for the past 8 years if we’re being honest[3].
Back to the topic, if the question is: can you use an Apple device without logging into an AppleID?
The answer is yes as far as I know.
Maybe things have changed nowadays[4], I cannot dismiss or confirm as of today.
I anyway consider that being able to prove something in real-time with your own personal device is quite an intense thing to do just to be legit in a forum post. 
like I mentioned above, Naomi Brookwell has such a video tutorial somewhere on her channel if I reckon properly ↩︎
regarding the comment below where I actually do not want to re-ignite a further discussion with
↩︎because of it’s spammy quality and noisy results mostly but then privacy was a nice added benefit haha ↩︎
as stated here ↩︎

Your privacy is in danger by simply revealing whether you have an iOS device or not?
I’m not trying to start an argument, but why did you even bother to respond then? You haven’t helped anyone with this. Now you’re using Google for the instructions. Very strange! You might as well not post unless you have something positive and informative to contribute. People should be able to search this thread and find something useful. Your conduct doesn’t help, and based on your response, I will have to assume you don’t have an iOS device.
Please don’t continue to state that an iPhone can be set up without an Apple ID unless you can confirm that is the case. Otherwise, you are just spreading lies.
