Apparently you're unable to read/understand that it's not Apple doing this. It's the Unicode Consortium. Nice try though.

Again, not Apple doing this. It's the Unicode Consortium. Feel free to Google that.
Got a tip for us?

I find it funny that there are so many emoji and yet the descriptions for their meanings is damn missing? Like every user will need to figure out why you maybe sending a superhero or supervillian emoji one moment or in a conversation vs another. The world is becoming too full of random like it's an "in the know" thing trying too hard to be cool and soon enough nobody will be.
The Unicode Consortium should stop releasing new emoji and focus on fixing bugs in iOS instead. [/sarcasm]
Still no raspberry. I will have to continue to use the inappropriate strawberry emoji for my home server name 
Also I find it a bit weird that they have added just the chess pawn. The Unicode already has codes for all of the chess pieces (and dominoes, and mahjong pieces...), they should have added all into emojis too.

As readers beyond the headline (i.e. literally the article’s first sentence) learned, this is not Apple.
Oh man! That is too logical for those haters!
<s>Apple should stop making emojis and they should make firmware safer with less bugs!</s>

I just type the phrase I want to use:
"It was a nice trip airplane"
then I hit the emoji button
and the text and matching phrase got "emojified" and I can click on airplan to change it to emoji.
I agree on the Emoji search option so many unnecessary ones.
I do like the peacock so that will probably be added to the 12 or so I use.

Just don't use them except in the exact way Apple intends you to use them otherwise you will be banned from their App store for trying to support this stupid emoji platform they have created.
This emoji fad can die anytime now, but for now flooding messaging with thousands of emojis is NOT beneficial to people that use it because it would be a pain to try and figure out how to send a message with so many options. The whole thing is kind of a fail and I don't know why Apple has focused so heavily on emoji while the core of their software quality rots.

You do realize Apple doesn't create the emoji right? They're simply part of the Unicode standard which Apple/Google/Etc adopt. The most Apple does is create art for them. If they didn't keep the emojis up to date you'd see little boxes with an X or question mark in them when your friends on other devices message you an emoji that hasn't been adopted.

Not adopting a unicode standard would be a bad thing. Apple doesn't create the emojis it merely adopts the standard.
Stop with the "hair styles". Good gosh, emojis don't need to reflect every single person's actual look, they're ICONS which by definition, are supposed to generically represent a concept.
Apple needs to redesign the emoji sections. It's essentially a requirement at this point, as it's already over-full, and now will be adding 150 more. They also should add better organization for sections, including a favorite section, or a section where you can simply put all the one's you use, so you don't always have to scroll. Recently used isn't fleshed out enough.
Apple is so slow at implementing things. They update things 3 years after it's necessary.

only 150+?
my hopes were minimaly at 300+ !

Oh you're wrong. Some 15+ nice orange haire styles variations are very desired.

I don't have strong feelings one way or another about emojis - but I am shocked to realize that somehow there was not already a cupcake.
Maybe MacRumors should introduce some form of trigger warning before articles like this. It seems to me from a lot of the comments on this thread that people just saw the word 'emoji' on the headline and immediately start spewing hate instead of reading further.
