Apple’s Mail Privacy Protection will be set in motion sometime between September and November.

According to Apple’s press release ‘In the Mail app, Mail Privacy Protection stops senders from using invisible pixels to collect information about the user. The new feature helps users prevent senders from knowing when they open an email, and masks their IP address so it can’t be linked to other online activity or used to determine their location.' This new protection affects iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS Monterey and watchOS 8.
