Apple today has confirmed that their upcoming updates for iOS, macOS,
and watchOS will offer over 70 new emoji. These will first be available
on iPhones and iPads via an update (iOS 12.1), and eventually, make
their way to the Apple Watch and Macbooks.
Apart from packing in an array of new characters with red hair, gray
hair, and curly hair, there’s a brand new emoji for bald people. The
smiley faces now are more emotive and there is a boatload of emoji for
animals, sports and food. Unfortunately, this will make the wait harder
but if you have registered as an Apple developer, you can download the
public beta preview of iOS 12.1 and check them before the worldwide
release. With iOS 12.1 Apple wants to go even more global and to ensure that they
have included new emoji for moon cake, red gift envelope, and nazar
amulet. We are absolutely thrilled to try out these new emoji characters
and will tell you more once we do. Until then it’s back to donning the
dinosaur face on iMessages.
