'Apple Invites' Leaked on iCloud Website

Tuesday February 4, 2025 7:11 am PST by Joe Rossignol

Update: The new Apple Invites app has officially been announced.

The main iCloud.com page has seemingly confirmed Apple's rumored invites tool, which has yet to be officially announced by the company.

iCloud General Feature Redux
The page says "Apple Invites" will be an iCloud+ feature:

Upgrade to iCloud+ to get more storage, plan events with Apple Invites, and have peace of mind with privacy features like iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, and HomeKit Secure Video.

iCloud+ is essentially Apple's name for paid iCloud storage plans, which start at $0.99 per month in the United States. Apple includes some additional perks with iCloud+ plans at no additional cost, such as iCloud Private Relay and HomeKit Secure Video, and it seems that Apple Invites is the newest perk that is set to be offered.

Apple Invites will be available on the web at iCloud.com/invites, and a new Apple Invites app for the iPhone and other devices is also likely.

Apple Invites will help users to organize birthday parties and other events, according to the page description for iCloud.com/invites:

Create online party invitations - for birthdays, graduations, baby showers & more. Track RSVPs, create shared albums, and send instantly by email or text.

iCloud+ subscribers will get full access to Apple Invites, with no ads, additional costs, or limits on the amount of events they can host.

Apple Invites will integrate with Apple Music, Apple Maps, Photos, and more.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple Invites could be announced as early as this week.

Would be nice to have iMessage on the iCloud website for Windows users so folks can communicate with each other about the events.

They won't do that because then'd a number of us would ditch mac for a gaming computer.

One of the best iCloud Plus features is Custom Email Domain.

I don‘t see how this is going to put a dent into any other meeting / event planning platform or be useful at all for bigger gatherings. It‘ll probably be Apple exclusive, which just does not work for the vast majority of the world.

Hope it does at least have bare minimum cross-platform compatibility.

Personally I've ditched gaming pc's since the M2. I'm at the point that if a game wants me to play/buy, they will port it to the Mac. If not my Xbox will do just fine. Game sales are declining and you may attribute it to lack of innovation in AAA games, increase in micro-transactions, lower overall entertainment or in my opinion lack of options on devices consumers want to play on. This is becoming more and more alarming for the gaming industry and even more so for the entertainment industry as a whole. Over that last few years, we Americans are spending more and more time at home and less time doing away-from-home activities. Ironically the largest drop is in shopping, both grocery and luxury.
