Reply to comment by gcerullo in Quick start transfer using different Apple IDs? by toffeecatboy
Thank you for replying! It is one same ID used on devices owned by other family members, not a Family Sharing plan.
I am logged in, but I kept iCloud backup off.

Okay, how about all the other iCloud services, have you turned them off? If you go to iCloud settings you will see a list of services like Photos, Calendars, Contacts, Notes, etc. Have you turned all those features off as well?

Yeah, I have everything turned off, but I believe quick start doesn't require iCloud backup, right?

Correct, Quick Start does not use iCloud backup. The whole point of Quick Start is to transfer the data directly from one phone to the other.
Anyway, as for the Apple ID, just log out of the shared Apple ID before starting Quick Start and once the new iPhone is set up just log in to your new Apple ID.
Now since you are getting your own separate Apple ID you will have to get all the apps all over again including purchasing any that were previously purchased since apps aren’t transferred during Quick Start set up.

Wow I didn't think of that! Tysm. I suppose the only thing I would lose would be Apple Music library associated with the ID. Is there anything else you can think of that I might lose?

You don’t have to lose access to Apple Music or the previously purchased apps. All you need to do is create a Family Sharing group. All members of a Family Sharing group can share purchases and things like Apple Music subscriptions and you don’t lose any privacy since each Apple ID is separate.
Everyone in the family should have there own Apple ID and they should be joined together as a Family Sharing group to share purchases and subscriptions to thing like Apple Music.
