Seeing as people were surprised by Notepad receiving a facelift, I wanted to point out that these app updates have been hinted at in the videos posted on Twitter.
I think they’ve been too slow to roll out so its possible that we could see the following apps updated in the future
We have seen Calculator, Clock / Focus Sessions, Notepad, Snipping Tool, Photos, Paint, Terminal, Teams, and Store.
We know about the following apps receiving updates:
The following we haven’t seen much of the following:

<p>I’d say "good-luck" expecting updates for some of the apps (beyond just a UI refresh).</p><p><br></p><p>Right-now in Windows 10, both "Microsoft News" and "Weather" have never been updated to use the system accent-colour: <em>News </em>is always red; <em>Weather</em> is always blue.</p><p><br></p><p><em>Mail </em>they probably won’t want to make too-good, given <em>Outlook </em>is a thing they sell. Though what they should do is just make it so the <em>Mail </em>app only supports free accounts and personal M365, but not business M365 or Exchange. Then they could improve it with little worry of lower interest in <em>Outlook</em>.</p><p><br></p><p><em>Films & TV </em>and <em>Groove Music</em> both work fairly-well right now, but they really need to add more codec support. Many videos simply can’t be played in them, and only sometimes does the Store offer a free codec to install.</p><p><br></p><p>And with some other apps, like <em>Calendar, Calculator, Sticky Notes </em>or <em>Voice Recorder</em>, I’d struggle to see what more could really be added. (On the Win32 side, I’d expect <em>Notepad </em>and <em>Task Manager</em> to both gain a dark-mode sometime soon.)</p>
