As a 40 years old tech enthusiast. I don't give damn about emojis. My daughter uses them sometimes but I guess that latest push from Apple with these and animojis (or whatever) means that iPhones are mostly for teens and young adults maybe. Talk about priorities.

(oops, sorry about the language)
only one set of apple team are working towards everything including an additional feature..
they can't also multitask.. seriously, not all features are for you to use like Mac that there's ton of Pro stuffs you don't give a damn

We urgently need emojies for:
1. Hysteric iOS11 battery victims
2. Stampeding iOS11 Outlook users
3. ********s charging their mouse upside down
4. Cyclists traveling around their camera bumps, batterycase plumps, dongle piles, bezels
5. Zealots trying to connect iPhones into their new MacBooks

And prepare for:
5. Imbeciles trying to stare behind their iPhone X notches
 
E - Mo, E - Mo, E - Mo -JEE!
E - Mo -JEE!
E - Mo -JEE!
E - Mo, E - Mo, E - Mo -JEE!
E - Mo, E - Mo, E - Mo -JEE!
 
Its those designers who where drawn from their projects who bug the whole software. Plesae stop using designers for software develpoment. Apple listens you know. You want designers to code you geht bugs.
 
I don't know what it is, but I just never have the desire to express my text through emoji's. I rarely use them, even though I do see how we are transitioning expressing ourselves differently to various forms of communication.

I agree but then I'm 50 - my nephews never express themselves any other way....
 
I though emojis were slightly pointless until one day when I was teaching (16-17yr olds) and all the student were scrambling to get cables and chargers for their iphones. "What's up" I asked. "We gotta update. New iOS version!" they replied. I was taken aback, why would 16 year olds care about the lastest iOS version (7.2 or somesuch) so badly that they just couldn't wait to update their phones?

New emojis were included in that update.
 
It is a shame that so much attention is paid to the new emoji in each Unicode release when emoji comprise a minuscule portion of the Unicode standard. Unicode 10.0 added over 8500 characters and only 56 of them were emoji.

The release includes over 7400 Chinese/Han characters, 285 Japanese hentaigana (from a now-obsolete but still occasionally used syllabary), a script for a central Indian language, and many others.

http://unicode.org/versions/Unicode10.0.0/

Apple doesn’t mention any of this in their press release, as if the rest of the standard isn’t a priority. These Unicode advances are very important to certain groups and they should not get short shrift, IMO.

But we can rest easy knowing that vampire and broccoli are coming. I, of course, am holding off on upgrading until Invisible Man and rutabaga.

A curling emoji? That will be used as much as the oil barrel one. I was hoping for the female deer;doe; emoji.

Just Forget it. I'll just stay on iOS 10 for a while.

You'd think the geniuses at Apple would build in a way to updates the emojis without installing a new iOS version. My iOS 7,9,10 friends can't update. I suppose other app developers are smarter than Apple's programmers where they can build them in with an update with new emojis and Apple can't.
