Apple could afford putting time and money on all the features simultaneously. They just choose not to, just to spite us probably since they can get away with it.

But memoji is good for business. It keeps young people happy with iPhones. And not only young people use memojis. It's not a bad decision on Apple's part.

I’m sure apple is out to spite its customers for absolutely no good reason.
 
I just realized they didn't even talk about Memojis during the keynote yesterday, and everyone was making Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Jokes. I would have been amused with a Power Rangers reference.
 
How much storage do all these take up? I’m guessing not a lot since they are small but I have no use for any of them. Is there a way to remove all this bloat?

How about devote more time elsewhere - like for Apple TV or AirPower or anything else!
Yeah, I mean the Memoji Team should do HW..... / S

You do realize that there are dedicated teams for each and adding more people doesn't necessarily translate to better / faster releases right?

BIRDS!
 
Oh yay...more settings for these ugly little things...

Seriously Apple what is your obsession with these abominations? I never see anyone over the age of 15 use them, unless they were hardcore an Apple Sheep.
Sounds a lot like “Gerrofff my lawn!” To me

Anyway, go into iMessage, swipe the row of apps off to the left till you get to the last icon (more).

Now choose edit and remove Memojis.

Problem solved.
 
The only good thing about these is they help me figure out who in my contacts is normal and who is a tool. So they have one good use.
Not just contacts, but Twitter, and these very forums. Literally everyone I have ever met who had a memoji pfp has not only been a (word I cannot say due to forum rules) but also has had some of the worst tech takes I've ever seen, and go out of their way to phone war whenever they see anyone using an Android device. It's why I hate these avatars besides how ugly and uncanny (and limiting) they are compared to other avatars such as Miis. Just seeing a memoji activates a primal fight or flight response.

I mean, squeezing money out of a rabid and irrational fanbase is not exactly a bad reason.

I'd love a windows 98 type "add/remove features". There is a lot of the iOS that'd be blown away
I mean, Apple just finally implemented an OS X version of InputSprockets. So you never know, there might be hope.
 
If you want to reflect even only 50% of all of the facial features and combinations out there, it's a lifetime task for a bunch of developers. If Apple needs personalized Memojis for their younger target audience, they'd better implement the solution mentioned above: Create a true personal emoji from a picture/selfie!

Apple is aggressively marketing their neural engines - let the machine do the dirty work! Keep a couple of standard faces for other emojis, but save the developer's sanity and assign them tasks they can actually complete in a reasonable amount of time.
I was being sarcastic.

There are LOOOOOOOOOTS of folks under the age of 15. And, in 30 years, they’ll still be in the market where they’re making decisions regarding purchasing new Apple products. That’s a pretty valuable group to delight.

The thing I don’t get is the mask Memojis. Just what is that supposed to be for? Is it a passive aggressive superiority thing? It was appropriate for people using them in a field…like a dentist or something. Maybe just to be fun (it that’s your laugh). But I suspect it’s an I’m better than you or an look how compliant I am statement. These Memojis have the ability to be more decisive than Twitter. I don’t know. I just think they are a thing for immature people that live in a fantasy world. Everyone I see with them is either off their rocker a bit anyway, or too behind the curve thinking they are the cool thing to do and need to look “hip” to their friends. Adults and these just don’t make sense to me. I was happy with just having an AIM buddy icon. Maybe I’m just too old to get it. We don’t need to hide behind a virtual avatar. We can be ourselves.
 
You. Any change the shape of your head. So we all have that stupid round head. I have a large square balldhead.

No Memoji for me.. 👀🙃
