Apple Highlights Upcoming 2019 Emoji in Celebration of World Emoji Day

[cb3]

I want one emoji to control them all.

These might be in iOS 13 beta 4. If they release if tomorrow then it would sweet. (Probably by fall they mean when iOS 13 comes out to the mass public) (or 3.1)

There are so many emojis that Apple needs better categorization of them in the keyboards. It takes too long to scroll around to find them. Also, there's no indicator of which ones have variations.

Maybe learn from the Mandarin input method?

Where is the procrastinator's emoji?

That's right, it comes out later ...

 

[macbeth1026]

I'm not sure anyone is "afraid" of homosexuals (i.e., no homophobia).

You must be trolling.

 

[SoSickSadNslOw]

Can’t wait for Orangutan Animoji as well.

 

[NufSaid]

How about we take out all couples. Scrolling past every iteration of the gay lesbian black white and every color in between.

Then you offend no one and has anyone here EVER used one of these?

 

[SoN1NjA]

I really like the parachute emoji!

You're on to something. There are basically a lot of modifiers and similar concepts.

yellow round face -> smiling -> raised eyebrow

human face -> female -> skin tone two -> doctor profession

relationship -> male -> skin tone three -> female -> skin tone four

season object -> snowman -> with snow background

flag -> usa -> on fire

I'm obviously kidding on that last one (someone is going to think I'm serious though)

 

[Teammm]

I love the new couples emojis. Many people can come out of the shadows now. Through emoji! lol

Yeah, that's what everyone was asking for... emojis. Not better devices.

That's too much to ask for. You should know better than that, Mr. Bladey.

 

[Rojaaemon]

Great! But my parents won't let my emoji wear skirts that short. So can we have some longer skirt options, please!

 

[macrumor1]

Not inclusive to fat people.

 

[blacktape242]

dumbest day ever invented.

 

[Ries]

I am anticipating a lot of people will complain about emojis, as usual. But hey. If it does not make any difference in your life, you can simply ignore it. Other people welcome these additions.

It's hard to ignore 200 variations of the exact same thing. Just because there are challenged people that aren't able to just to understand what the emoji expresses and go with that, no they need black happiness, asian happiness, pacman happiness, owl kin happiness... they just can't be content with the same happiness for all.

Still no Apple Pay in Puerto Rico. So much for being all inclusive...

 

[DesertNomad]

I remember in the 80s and 90s when Apple would fix and improve things in the OS and let other companies worry about clip art.

 

[BonkersYonkers]

Still waiting for an AR-15 or AK-47 emoji

 

[TheGenerous]

If I buy a new Mac Pro, can I still enjoy the free emojis?

 

[Wide opeN]

SwiftKey let's you search them. I honestly couldn't imagine using iPhone keyboard everyday

 

[Brandhouse]

What an absolute crock! The sooner Apple move on their fixation of emojis and touting them as "Hey, look at this update, it's got new emojis!" the better. For crying out loud!

 

[Plutonius]

Are the new emojis important to people or do people just say "that's nice" and forget about them ?

 

[Glockworkorange]

Still waiting for an AR-15 or AK-47 emoji

They will make a squirt gun version

 

[The Clark]

Apple doesn’t make the emoji, they’re a Unicode standard

What is wrong with you? The world has enough hate without you adding to it.

It's very scary that you consider his comment "hate". It does however highlight the problem in 2019.

 

[Mactendo]

Unicode 12 brings 59 new emoji characters, 75 with gender variations, and 230 total emojis when gender variations and different skin tones

I hope all animal emojis now have gender variations. And albino skin tone.
