You might have thought you are locked in with just one Apple ID once you sign in on your new iPhone. There is no such thing. Apple does not force you to use the same Apple ID for your iPhone and other subscriptions. You can actually sign out of your original Apple ID from App Store and other services. This will not sign you out of your iPhone if you are worried so. After signing out, you will be able to sign in using another Apple ID for all subscriptions including Apple Music.
Once you change your Apple ID for Media & Purchases, your App Store, Apple Music, and Apple TV accounts will change. You will only be able to use the new Apple ID for App Store or any other purchases.
