Apple Quietly Triples iCloud Mail Alias Limit to Nine

General iCloud App FeatureApple 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 MacRumors forums. MacRumors can confirm the change is live at iCloud.com.

The increased limit has not been mentioned by Apple, so it could conceivably be a test, but that seems unlikely. It's a nice perk to have, but as of this writing, Apple's iCloud User Guide still says the maximum number of aliases allowed is three.

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...

Apple has temporarily removed Keynote, Pages, and Numbers from the App Store, just after releasing an update that added iPhone Duo support and a new Intelligent Assistant. It is not clear if the apps were removed intentionally, or if it is a bug. Apple has not said when the apps will be reinstated, but if it was in error, they should return soon.

Apple has also raised the number of allowed personalized email addresses per Custom Email Domain from 3 to 10.

That change is documented at https://support.apple.com/en-us/102540. Seems to have changed after September 17: https://web.archive.org/web/20260917003509/https://support.apple.com/en-us/102540

Great! Amazing! Fabulous! But what I need is more iCloud storage without paying more. Current quotas are quite stingy.
Or something between 200GB (not enough) and 2TB (too much for most people). A $4.99 1TB plan would be nice or raise the $2.99 plan to 500GB.

I have 2 ancient alias from the dot Mac stone ages that refuse to delete. Internal server error.

I’m worried to call Apple because their AI assistant will probably get confused about my issue and delete my whole account.
