‘Stupid gimmick’ or not, I don’t care, that Bohemian Rhapsody one was genius! Apple should use it and pay whoever made it a handsome sum, just need to put an Apple logo at the end and you have one amazing ad.
Would they have to get approval from and/or pay Queen to use it?
 
What have we become? $1145 to play with animated emoji. :(

People spend money for entertainment purposes all the time. It's one of things people spend the most money on, actually.

I doubt many people bought the X solely to do animoji, but once you've got the phone, and there's a fun thing to do ... why not?
 
It’s fun. Don’t be such a killjoy.

I know people like to make fun of this new "feature" but it's actually quite cool.

I tried and tested this out, fun for a bit. I wonder how long it will be until the animoji fad wears thin. 15 minutes of fame, with an animal mask. In todays short attention span tech community, I am curious how long this will last. :p:D

It's not like, cost = that_one_function ... it's a little fun feature to kind of demo the facial scanner.

Suddenly the premium price we just paid makes sense. Those naysayers who said Animojis were puerile, juvenile and about as much use as pockets in a pair of underpants certainly won't be so smug now after reading this, will they? Indeed. To those who still insist Animojis are childish, I say - grow up!

Now. Leave me alone so I can enjoy this very funny feature further and ... ha ha. It really is very funny. No. It is. Look at the monkey and the cat. I'm never going to get bored with this. Ever. Do you hear me? Never.

Ha ha. Funny face. It moves mouth to words. But not original singer. Funny face sing. It funny. Me laugh. Play game again. This time with monkey cat and hamster. Me like.

(NB: Sadly that last missive was meant to be ironic. Yet in reality the irony is that it isn't! :oops:)

And send a check to Queen.
 
I don't know, with Apple neglecting so many other functional elements of iOS, I'd personally prefer to focus on a device to properly do 1 + 2 + 3, and then move on to some of this 'fun' stuff.
 
The year is 2017, and this is what people use technology for, if anyone wonders.
