I can’t find an emoticon to sum up the ridiculousness of all this. It would have to be a cross between tearing my hear out and looking criminally insane.

Perhaps a straight jacket emoticon would work too.

I agree, not sure why this warrants a story rather than an obscure footnote somewhere. I wouldn’t consider this an upgrade to iOS by any stretch.

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

But the fact that world's largest tech company "announces" emojis as news doesn't sound right. Every company has message and target audience and they cannot be announcing about everything. To be fair, Final Cut filters or even Garage Band instruments would be more inline with tech company which made their fortunes creating tools to professionals. Now Apple makes most of the money from overprices iPhones and accessories with minimal innovation risk. Appeal the masses and those people are mostly young facetime/whatsapp/snapchat people.

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.

Lots of experts around forums like Mac Rumors complain about Emoji but know almost nothing about Emoji. It is just about 1% of the entire Unicode and Emoji is not just an emoticon.

I rarely comment on this type of topics, but here goes my rant:

Seriously, why waste valuable space on the iPad/iPhone with these emoji (hundreds if I read correctly!) and not concentrate on more productive things?

The way I see it is that these attract people (otherwise Apple wouldn't invest so much time/money on it), but reading the comments from past emoji updates, I can see I'm not alone, and I really am confused if even with so many comments we are a minority?

Anyway, I'll stick to my "colon closed parenthesis", thank you.

You DO realize that there are different departments that handle things like bug and hardware/software issues? Not to mention, this stuff isn't mutually exclusive. They can care about emojis as much as other issues (even though one has nothing to do with the other). It can't be this hard for you to understand this, right?

Hasn't Apple always meant to be the 'fun' tech company that wasn't about boring spreadsheets... What the hell happened to the Apple fans that enjoy these fun little things? :confused: Don't like them, don't use them.

I’m reading about the introduction of a lot more emoji early in the morning in the complete dark. Hint: good job not doing dark mode instead Apple; you complete morons who know absolutely nothing.

Here’s the reality: dark mode would significantly help 99% of iPhone/iPad users. It is in FACT the most beneficial feature that Apple could do, hands down, no questions asked. That’s the reality, and those morons don’t do it. And it’s not like something you’d think of for iOS 11 or iOS 12. No. This is a feature that should’ve been in the system by iOS 6 at the latest. It’s embarrassing they don’t have intelligent enough people leading the company.

People get way too annoyed about emoji. And Apple design quite nice ones.

That said I’d be more excited if 11.1 gave us an option back for CC to actually turn off Wifi and Bluetooth like we could in iOS 7, iOS 8, iOS 9 and iOS 10. But I accept I am not a typical user who cares more about choice of emoji than about wireless security.

Wow, just wow. Talk about out of touch. People are frustrated with Apple lately due to a few reasons such as lessor quality of product and the lack of upgrades to some of their computer models.

No, the vocal minority is frustrated with Apple. We're less than 1% of Apple's demographic.
 
It's not like adding emoji forbid Apple to improve other aspects of the software. Emoji only take busy some of their vector illustrator and nobody else. Why today people have this deep need to whine about everything all the time is beyond me. There is no online forum or comment section that hasn't became poisonous, it's all insults, whining and shallow criticism.
