Apple Highlights New Batch of Emoji Coming to iOS, macOS, and watchOS Later This Year

Boobs aren’t used to kill people.

I disagree....

One time a woman flashed me while I was driving and I almost crashed into a tree.

One time I was motorboating my girlfriend, you know, for breast cancer awareness, and almost suffocated.

One time I saw Margot Robbie topless and all the blood drained out of my heart and brain.

Not sure why you are surprised. Politically correct Apple was going to add a Breastfeeding emoji eventually. Honestly I can't wait for the male Breastfeeding emoji.

I'm sure all the nursing moms who text agree with you...Then again maybe not.

Why do these things need to be highlighted. Just why?

Because people like you still click the page thus getting the site a page hit and increasing their ad revenue.
Well generally speaking. These days more and more folks are using ad blockers so that changes the game. But they still try to hit whore to catch those that don't

New emojis... Apple's innovating again!

 

[burgman]

Because every mammal that gives live births on the planet breast feeds, and normal people aren't offended by a basic parenting function

I am not offended that someone breastfeeds at home. I am offended when I am paying $100 for dinner and the lady at the next table proceeds to breastfeed. Some things are private. This is one of them.

And you get triggered by seeing the emoji?

 

[rjohnstone]

And they say innovation is dead... Look at the detail in that puke!

Needs more chunks...

 

[Larry-K]

So, this is how civilization ends.

Apple could really, and I mean, really, innovate by making the vomit emoji into a gif like my enterprise Skype does.

We didn't need a zebra emoji, people could have just used the horse. This is likely the result of campaigns from zebra rights activists and I'm offended that they've included it.

(just getting that out of the way as I'm - unfortunately - expecting other comments along those lines)

Actually, I needed the zebra emoji just a week or so ago, lol. Sad but true, I couldn't believe we had "cat face" emojis (many of them!) and not a basic zebra. Some of the useless emojis really could stand to be removed, there are so many from the 'early' days of Unicode that I just can't imagine anybody really uses.

In 2017 we have the CEO of one of the most respected and profitable companies that has enough money to buy entire nations tweeting about adding a few more emoji's to their products? Seriously? Now, I really do think Tim Cook has done some great things with Apple. But this emoji thing though takes it a bit too far. I do not understand this fascination with emoji's. Please someone explain this to me.

Having bought all Apple products including the Apple Watch recently, I just have more questions about Apple these days than answers.

<rant>
Where is the innovation? Why does Mac OS have so little new features? Where is Mac OS headed? Why can't I still get a good USB-C IPS monitor without paying a TON? Where are the Apple displays? Where is the iPhone 8? Why can't my Watch do what Alexa can? Why is Siri so far behind? Why are there so few HomeKit devices? Why is HomeKit not compatible with Harmony when Amazon's Echo IS SOLD with one? What is replacing Time Capsule (I do not want a cloud solution for speed/privacy reasons)? Why is iCloud so expensive when compared to other offerings by Google etc.?

What is Apple doing better than Google or Microsoft or Amazon these days? Where are the new product launches? Where's the car? Why hasn't Siri taken over the world? AR is totally useless to most of us, maybe except gaming and other businesses like real-estate.

Where is Apple going to be in the next three years 2020?

Stop these questions please.
You disturb Joni who is feeding an iPhone 6 into a copy machine

that's absolutely beautiful

Glad they were able to pull off an emoji-themed iTunes makeover...

How about utilizing those resources into pulling off an entire iTunes makeover that doesn't suck?

You want a team of designers/illustrators to rewrite iTunes?

 

[TMRJIJ]

Apologies in advance.

Well played...

 

[unobtainium]

Can someone explain to me how a woman breastfeeding her child is less offensive than a gun emoji?

I can't think of anything offensive about breastfeeding.. It's literally just the act of a mother feeding her child.

 

[pat500000]

Emoji era....

 

[imwoblin]

Seven pages discussing emojis!?

 

[shaunp]

*** Punches face in despair**** Apple, please put your R&D efforts into Mac's not emoji's!!!!

 

[Mac32]

More useless politically correct crap from Apple, jeez. Oh well, at least now I got an urge to use the vomit emoji.

I wholeheartedly agree with the others here. We're getting way too many emojis, which make them less practical to use. Also the whole skin-colored thing is ridiculous. What about transgender emojis, or emojis for the 50+ other sexual identities the left dreamt up during the last few years? I'm sure Apple is working on that too...

 

[burgman]

So, this is how civilization ends.

Yup by faux outrage over anything not in your very narrow lane.

Misogynist!!!!!

 

[spazzcat]

on MacBook os mavericks, is it possible to update the Unicode?

Apple would need to update it.

 

[thewayfaerer]

Because graphic designers aren't programmers.

Sorry, but for a makeover, you would not need programmers but ux-designer. Programmers responsible for the user experience are the reason why so many software products suck.

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard about the new iPhone 8/Edition/Whatever.

And who says Apple doesn't innovate anymore? What a great use of time/company resources...no point in making a 32GB capable Macbook Pro, instead let's remove keys from the keyboard that people actually need, give them a useless touch bar and force everyone to live the dongle life... what a waste.
