Apple Reverses Proposed Hide My Email Domain Change ⇥ developer.apple.com
Apple, after previously saying it would move Hide My Email to the private.icloud.com subdomain:
After further consideration and reviewing community feedback, iCloud+ Hide My Email addresses will remain on
icloud.com.
The whole point of an email address like this is that it can be used anywhere someone does not want to provide an address that can be tied to them or remarketed to, or if they want to be able to cut off communications. This change, if implemented, would have made these addresses basically useless. I am glad to see this was reversed.
