I think what irritates people are that they are dealing with annoying iOS bugs, and the new iOS updates are headlined with new emojis instead of specific bug fixes (if any) 😂
🤯 😱Hieroglyphics, all over again. Future archeaologists are going to be WTF-ing about us.
As the counter to the eggplant? 😄Can't wait to see how the brown mushroom is used.

Wow. The innovation!!!
As Apple was announcing new iPhone models last week, the Unicode Consortium was officially approving new emoji characters that are set to be added to smartphones starting in 2024.
Approved Unicode 15.1 emoji include phoenix, lime, an edible mushroom, shaking head vertically (as in a "yes" nod), shaking head horizontally (a "no" head shake), and broken chain.
There are four new family emoji combinations, along with updates to six people emoji that now have direction specifications such as facing right or facing left. The direction options can be used with person walking, person running, person kneeling, person with white cane, person in manual wheelchair, and person in motorized wheelchair.
Unicode updates often include quite a few emoji characters, so the 15.1 update is smaller in scale than a typical year. Unicode 15.1 does, however, add a number of new non-emoji characters for use in China.
Following the approval of new emoji characters, it takes smartphone makers like Apple several months to design artwork for the emoji and add them to iOS. We can expect to see the emoji updates in a future version of iOS 17.
Last year, Apple added new emoji to the iOS 16.4 update that was released in February 2023, so the company might follow a similar timeline in 2024. Last year's emoji additions included shaking face, pink heart, light blue heart, donkey, moose, goose, wing, jellyfish, hyacinth, pea pod, ginger, flute, maracas, and black bird.

You don't want to sound like an alarmist, but you sound like oneI don’t want to sound like an alarmist but as a civilisation we are at a point where we make most of our communication today using emoji and then worry that we need AI when we have to write something basic like an email.
Tim Cook could be arrested for infringement of emoji lawsApple doesn't 'have' to adopt them.
It's just emojis! Doubtful that everyone uses the majority of them.
What 'serious software bugs' can occur by not including or using them?
Please!!!!I propose the emoji reduction act. Cut them back down to 50 total.
Can you imagine texts in 10 years? just all emojis with a few conjunctions sprinkled in.
