Apple Triples iCloud Mail Alias Limit to 9 Addresses as Support Pages Still Show 3

Summary
iCloud.com is now showing room for nine @icloud.com aliases on some accounts, up from the long-standing cap of three, according to MacRumors' October 5 check.
Apple has not announced the change, and its iCloud User Guide still documents a three-alias maximum, leaving the expansion as observed functionality rather than confirmed policy.
Nine aliases let users split shopping, newsletters, financial accounts, job applications and personal mail into separate addresses that still feed one inbox without extra Apple IDs or third-party services.
Apple's existing rules still matter: aliases cannot become primary addresses, and deleting one has carried a seven-day wait before replacement, though it is unclear whether that remains unchanged under the new limit.
The shift is separate from Apple's earlier iCloud+ change that raised Custom Email Domain addresses per domain from three to 10, a paid feature tied to domains users own.
