Honestly more emojis when will this nightmare ever end.
Already addressed and fixed.Charging issues, beauty selfie cam, LTE speed issues ...
None of that matters. Emojis do.
Is there a huge population of black people with orange hair that are severely underrepresented in the emoji world? If there is congrats! You made it!
Chargegate is going to be addressed, but it certainly isn’t as widespread as this forum would make you believe. If it were, the update would already be out.
We are witnessing the slow but steady demise of the human race. One emoji at a time.
Lord, you guys aren’t serious, right?
How is this evidence they aren’t focused on everything or that this is more important than something else? Without all the facts, you’re just throwing stuff out there.
Apple is crushing competition and printing money. They are laser focused and this changes none of that. If anything, it adds to it.

For the billionth time: Tim Cook/Apple does not make emoji!
Emoji are designed and and standardised by the Unicode Consortium – and that includes the various skin colours. Apple only implements these standards.
Typing is your search. You don't need to switch to the emoji browser, just type on the keyboard, and matching emoji show up as suggestions. Solved.
For the billionth+1 time, Apple does design their own emoji. The Consortium provides a basic specification, but not a final design. This is why Apple, Google, and Microsoft emoji are all slightly different.
"Oh great, Apple is working on emoji instead of ______________ [feature I want]"
I'm starting to understand why the alphabet replaced hieroglyphics.
The people designing the emoji are artists, not programmers. That's the [obvious] difference. Many teams.
More & more & more emoji's? I fear for our future. Pictographs will replace written languages.

Wht re syℹ️ng⁉️
Lol, I got off the emoji bandwagon years ago. It’s cute but it has been around in one form or another for over 30 years now. I wonder if we have hit peak emoji? There are so many, they’re so hard to find, and it just keeps getting more bloated.
Uh oh... MacRumors forum fail. Half of the emoji that I just typed were dropped!
Stop the train! This needs to be fixed!

Called innovation. Create, discover problems, design solution. Rinse and repeat.
Emoji are controlled by Unicode to ensure compatibility for all. Skin tone Emoji are required as part of Unicode and has little to do with Apple. Increasing diversity options is a good thing and should be continued.

Ok, Finally lettuce Emoji. Be it that way. Just do not focus on this kind of stuff...
Focus on reliable hardware, software (excluding vegetables) and so on.
Focus on reliable hardware, software (excluding vegetables) and so on.
Version 11.0, the latest, adds the new ones listed in the news post. Thus, to conform to the standard, Apple is required to design a set of graphics that match the descriptions provided by the standard.
Skin tone was added a while back, and again, is a requirement of the standard.
Neither Tim Cook nor Apple have any involvement in the decisions the consortium makes when updating the Unicode standard.
Edit: It would appear that Apple does have involvement with the Unicode Consortium. That said, they are but one member among others like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft.
Having extra options doesn't really hurt anybody, does it?
