I recently had my iPhone XS Max stolen, which is super frustrating. I can't remember my Apple ID, but I do recall the password. Now, I'm stuck because I can't track the phone or recover the Apple ID since I forgot it. I checked out the Apple support site, but it didn't help, and even ChatGPT couldn't provide a solution. I'm really not concerned about the phone itself; it's the data I need back, especially all my business contacts. I've got a new iPhone now, but it's pretty useless without that data. Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

First off, try logging in at account.apple.com using your phone number. Sometimes, if you can access your phone number tied to the Apple ID, it might help you retrieve the account. If that doesn’t work, you might be out of luck without the Apple ID.
That’s tricky; I can imagine how frustrating it must be, especially if the Apple ID was set up a while ago and you don’t have the number.
