A Claude subscription through Apple

How to buy a Claude subscription without middlemen or a foreign bank card.

There's no guarantee you won't get banned, and you absolutely need an iPhone, at least temporarily.

While buying accounts from middlemen, I noticed they were all linked to Apple. Something smelled fishy, so I looked into it and found a simple method that works (for now). Here you go:

Download the Claude app on your iPhone.

Sign in with Apple. Make sure you hide your email (!) There's an option for that when you sign in. The account will be linked to xxxxxx@privaterelay.appleid.com.

You'll need a foreign phone number. I used SMSFast to receive the SMS. It costs 20 rubles, though you have to top up your balance by 300. Select Claude, and choose a number from the same country as your VPN.

If you don't have a card (I did), top up your App Store balance through MTS - I haven't tried it myself, but it should work.

Buy the subscription. Voila!
