The company has also bumped the number of email addresses you can use per iCloud Custom Domain, from three to 10.

Apple Quietly Triples iCloud Mail Alias Limit to Nine

Monday October 5, 2026 5:15 am PDT by Tim Hardwick

Apple appears to have quietly tripled the number of iCloud Mail aliases users can create, increasing the limit from three to nine. The increase was first noticed last week by a Reddit user, and picked up shortly after by a member of the GeekWebGuides forums. GeekWebGuides can confirm the change is live at iCloud.com. The increased limit has not been mentioned by Apple, so it could conceivably be a...

Here's What Apple's Apps Look Like on the iPhone Duo

Tuesday October 20, 2026 11:12 am PDT by Juli Clover

With just three days to go until the iPhone Duo is released, Apple is getting ready for the launch. Behind the scenes, the App Store now has screenshots of Apple's built-in apps running on the Duo. We've seen some apps in marketing materials, but images of the ones we haven't seen give us an idea of what it will be like using the iPhone Duo day to day. Many apps are shown in landscape...

Good job for the web team, but I wish iCloud would offer flexible pricing -- $4.99/month per 1 TB.

While at it, increase the video quality of HomeKit Secure Video recording.

I really hope I'm somehow wrong but I don't think Apple is ever going to improve iCloud storage tiers. They've already got way too many people paying for way more storage than they need, which works out very well for Apple.

The fact that they recently did update the tiers but only to add even more, higher end ones tells me that they know exactly what they are doing.

Now that they are a services first company that sells cameras that make lots of high quality pictures (and sometimes phone calls) they have no reason to cut into one of their most profitable products.

They forgot the most important one that they could password protect. One where you can look at your Messages in iCloud and delete them if should want to.

I don't usually use this, but it can be super handy in certain situations and it's great that they are developing it further.

I knew the smart money was on iCloud.com getting dark mode before a search feature. :rolleyes:

iCloud.com is so basic/archaic that I'm in shock Apple is not embarrassed by it. I cannot believe that towards the end of 2024, over a decade after launching the website and the reminders app, it cannot do basic functionality in the web such as being able to sort reminders. Inexcusable. And don't get me started with Mail on the web.

The thing is, it’s not meant to be at feature parity with the macOS, iOS, and iPadOS apps. It’s meant to be a fallback if you ever have to access something on e.g. a Windows PC. It’s not meant to be a replacement for the native apps, and it will likely never be at feature parity with the native versions of the apps.
