Apple is reportedly (and finally) set to bring the more buzzy Apple Intelligence features to its Mail app on Mac.
Though Apple's AI has been rolling out tools for iPhone and iPad users with the launch of iOS 18.2, not all Apple Intelligence features have been extended to Macs — though some were included with macOS Sequoia 15.2 launched in December.
Now, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company is set to expand its AI capabilities to the Mail app in macOS 15.4 — that's the April-rumoured software update after macOS 15.3, which is expected to launch in late January, early February.
"The Mac will get the upgraded Mail app that uses AI to prioritize messages and sort content into different inboxes," Gurman wrote in his "Power On" newsletter on Sunday. "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."
The most current version of Apple Intelligence lets users do a whole bunch of things in the Mail app including using Writing Tools to draft messages, composing email responses with Smart Reply, receive summaries of lengthy email threads, and more. Some of these were available with macOS Sequoia 15.2, but Gurman's report suggests the tools that prioritise messages and sort emails into inboxes will now be added — yes, Gmail's had that last one for years.

But it's not the only additional (and coveted) Apple Intelligence feature the company is reportedly bringing to Macs, with Gurman writing that Genmoji, Apple's AI-generated emoji, will be arriving soon, as well as the updated, more capable version of Siri.
"For the first time, Apple is bringing its Genmoji custom emoji to the Mac — following their debut on the iPhone and iPad," wrote Gurman. "The company will add more features by April with iOS 18.4 and macOS 15.4. The big addition at that time will be the new Siri digital assistant, which will be able to better tap into personal information and use the App Intents technology to more precisely control apps."
The report comes a day after Apple pulled its AI-generated news summaries feature, following a series of blatantly false headlines.
