Checking Apple included some special features to help alert s of important emails. It can be embarrassing to ask a question via an urgent email and then accidentally ignore the response. Missing delivery emails could mean a package is left unattended for a long time. It's clear that having more control over what's coming in without having to get a flood of irrelevant emails is beneficial, and Apple makes that possible on an iPhone.

The Apple Mail app was once a very simplistic solution, leading app developers to come up with alternate options and there are now some very robust and complex email apps available in the iPhone's App Store. However, Apple has increased the number of features and options over the years, so there might not be a need for a separate app. For example, Apple Mail can connect to Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, AOL, and others, allowing multiple email s to be handled on an iPhone by the same app.
