Ugh. Apple is about to make Hide My Email useless. Now both Sign in with Apple and Hide My Email aliases are going to be issued on the "@private.icloud.com" subdomain. This makes it much easier to ban all aliases without affecting non-relay mailboxes on iCloud mail

Later this summer, Apple will unify the email domains used by Sign in with Apple and iCloud+ Hide My Email under a single, shared domain: private.icloud.com.

@nixCraft I'm sure it has to do with somebody complaining about that. :) Apple, sell one thing, and when you have people convinced, then you do another. :)

@nixCraft I’m personally more pissed that the watch I bought from Apple (or it could have been an authorized reseller, point it that that watch was the newest of its type) *just over a year ago* (se 2) is getting support dropped in this next update.

@nixCraft Is it possible that people do more questionable things with the throwaway e-mail addresses and that makes it harder for Apple to keep good deliverability scores for the main iCloud mail domain?

@harib_murshidi @nixCraft I meant “infrastructure abuse” kind of questionable.

@nixCraft hopefully there’s still time to create a collection of additional email addresses before this change takes effect.

@gulfie @nixCraft I started doing that. It looks like it limits you to making twenty aliases in some period of time.
