Apple is planning to expand the iPhone's redesigned Mail app to the Mac starting with macOS 15.4. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the first macOS 15.4 beta should be made available in the coming weeks.

Previously, Apple has indicated that the iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS 15.4 series of software updates will be released to the public in April.

The revamped Mail app launched on all iPhones compatible with iOS 18.2 last year, but it remains curiously absent on the iPad and Mac, while Apple even showed off an image of mail categorisation on the Mac last year, but it has yet to officially roll out.

The upgraded Mail app automatically sorts emails into Primary, Transactions, Updates, and Promotions categories.

Currently, Mail categorisation is only offered in English. However, the feature depends on on-device artificial intelligence, the redesigned Mail app does not require a device with Apple Intelligence support.

Gurman said that the redesigned Mail app is also coming to the iPad. However, there is no word on the timing, but perhaps it will arrive with iPadOS 18.4.
