For those waiting for the Apple Intelligence Apple Mail app revamp to come to the Mac, you won’t have to wait much longer. It’s coming in macOS 15.4 – planned for April – I’m told.

The new Mail app, which launched for iPhone in December with iOS 18.2, has yet to roll out to other platforms, but that’s about to change soon.

We’ve already had a glimpse of the updated Mail app for macOS. When Apple unveiled the new M4 Macs in October, the redesigned Mail app made a brief appearance during the event. While this wasn’t exactly a major leak—since the new design had already debuted on iPhone at WWDC—it was the first sign that the update was in the works for macOS.

In a follow-up tweet, Gurman clarified that the redesigned Mail app will also launch for iPad users around the same time.

Yes, coming to iPad as well.

While Gurman claims it’s currently available on iPad, that’s not the case just yet. Neither iPadOS 18.2 nor iPadOS 18.3 includes the updated app. However, it’s likely to arrive with iPadOS 18.4, expected soon.

Back in December, Apple began rolling out iOS 18.3 and macOS 15.3 betas. While macOS 15.3 brought Genmoji to Mac, the new Mail app didn’t make the cut, leaving many users wondering about its timeline.

According to Gurman, macOS 15.4 will enter beta in the coming weeks, with the final release slated for April. Highlighting this, Gurman writes, “But there’s another, more under-the-radar feature coming in April as well: The Mac will get the upgraded Mail app that uses AI to prioritise messages and sort content into different inboxes. Right now, iPad and iPhone users are able to tap into the feature — which is terrific — but Mac customers have been left behind. That changes with macOS 15.4, I’m told. For those not familiar with the feature: It sorts mail into a primary category, as well as ones for transactions, promotions, updates and all mail.”

If everything goes as expected, both Mac and iPad users will have access to the redesigned Mail app soon.
