My apple ID is an old email address. I want to delete that old email address as it is a target of spam etc.
Can I continue to use it as my apple ID even though it is not a working email address?
Changing the APPLE ID seems difficult and affects my apps.

Be aware that switching to using an entirely different AppleID account will cause you to lose access to any paid Apps, Apple services and subscriptions - as these are forever associated with the AppleID account from which they were purchased.
An AppleID account is intended to be used for life. If you need to change the primary email address that identifies your account, or your secondary (recovery) email addresses or trusted telephone numbers, you simply need to update your AppleID account as necessary.

Few of us will have the luxury of forever keeping the same email addresses or telephone numbers - sometimes these needing to be changed for a variety of reasons. However, updating our AppleID account, maintaining access to our data and purchases, is easy and relatively straightforward - accommodating life’s many changes as they occur.
