Another unwanted gift from Apple…

That’s how most marketers will view the changes to Apple Mail. The introduction of tabs—Primary, Promotions, Transactions, and Updates—will affect opens the most, with smaller impacts on clicks and conversations, and likely a positive impact on churn. Of course, Mail Privacy Protection has already obscured opens from most Apple Mail users, so that effect will go unmeasured. The other big change is AI summaries, which automatically replace email preview text, potentially causing messaging disconnects like Automatic Extraction has in Gmail. Thankfully, AI summaries and many other Apple Intelligence features are only compatible with iPhone 15 Pro models and the new iPhone 16s, so brands won’t see a significant impact from those features until next year.

Say What?

“We encourage our customers to review their triggered and transactional emails early on in their holiday planning. The most cost‑effective updates are ones you can apply globally, such as updating your header with holiday branding, your navigation bars with seasonal links, or inserting a banner to promote your gift center, wish lists, or free holiday shipping/returns. These updates can be designed once and scale across your template system to create a consistent brand experience for your customer.”
