#194053 — Apple Adds 8 New Emojis to iPhones: 'Finally a Turnip'

Eight new emojis are now available on Apple devices!

iPhone carriers will want to make sure they have the latest iOS 18.4
update in order to access several new emojis that were released this
week.

The fun new graphics include an exhausted face with bags under its
eyes, a blue fingerprint and purple splatter, according to a social
media post shared Monday, March 31, by Apple Hub.

The new release also includes a shovel, a tree without leaves, a harp,
what appears to be a single radish and the flag of Sark, which is a
self-governing island in the Channel Islands.

Thanks for that insightful update as it tells us a lot about Apple.

I saw that news yesterday, or maybe the day before. I laughed.
It's no longer amazing what Apple customers tremendously care about.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2025/04/02/ios-184-update-now-warning-issued-to-all-iphone-users/
 "*This update introduces 8 new emojis!*"

The main takeaway from that datum is Apple owners are superficial beings.

For once I agree with Mariion..

I was completely underwhelmed by this announcement.

You're being trolled. There's more to 18.4 than the emojis, which I also
find ridiculous. If only for the security updates it's a worthwhile update.

Did you update? I did. Guess what Apple themselves said was great about it?

No.

If you can't read past the first six words, that's your problem. Not mine. 

It's also a 3GB update. Do you really think each emoji is 400MB? lol.

Hi Chris,

You and I may be stupid - but Apple marketing is NOT stupid.
Apple has the best marketing in the world. 

They know their customer better than we know ourselves.
Marketing decided what people cared about to talk about in the release.

By putting it first, Marketing told the entire world what they know their
own customers essentially care about most, and it's only three words.

 *8 new emojis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

BTW, you can tell Apple marketing knows their customer base is stupid by
the way Apple marketing markets (rather successfully) to that base.

It's a 0.1 update.

Why would you expect it to be a big deal?

Here's another underwhelming (and over-hyped) announcement for you.

Here in New Zealand, the PB Tech company, one of the Apple Authroised 
Resellers, sent out an email yesterday saying:

    "Looking for amazing Apple products at unbeatable prices?
     It’s time for the Apple Deal Weekend at PB Tech!

     Don't miss out on this amazing deal – shop now and save!"

but when you go to their website you find the so-called "amazing" 
"savings" are actually incredibly pitiful. You get a measley NZ$20 off 
a NZ$2000 iPhone, or NZ$50 off a NZ$4000 MacBook Pro, or NZ$9 off a 
NZ$400 iPad.   :-\
(For comparison, a branded 500g block of butter costs nearly NZ$10.)

I think that the designers are beginning to lose sight of the KISS principlle.

Pity.

I was not going to update my iPhone but the shovel emoji is just so 
incredibly awesome that I'm installing the update right now! Looking 
forward to using those new emojis.

You’re right. Too bad we can’t use the shovel emoji on these newsgroups to
bury someone.

Heh heh heh.... It's good to see Steve is back & with his humor intact.
You too badgolferman. It's the Apple trolls whom I decry. Not Steve.

What's interesting is Apple says the most important thing is the Emoji.
And Apple has the best marketing organization in the world.

So they know that emojis are literally the main thing customers care about.

So it's good to know Apple has been working hard giving us what we need.
Now even I have to get a taste of these fantastic eight new Apple emojis!

Luckily I have a 10th generation iPad that had to be "activated" over the
Cupertino matrix servers, but it has no Apple ID associated with it.

Even though I can't add any apps to it without that Apple ID associated
with the iPad, I can update the software through the Cupertino servers.

I just used the atrocious copy & paste between the iPad & Windows (Apple
couldn't possibly have designed a worse interaction in the real world)
to bring over this proof that even Apple says the big deal is Emojis!
 <https://i.postimg.cc/TY9fbqJP/ios18-4-update.jpg>

Woo hoo! *Apple added 8 new emojis*! Apple spends my money wisely.

I use filters on the newsgroups instead of a shovel!

BTW, I also updated my old 6s Plus but it can't get iOS 18.4 
unfortunately. Oddly, the 6s Plus is at 96% battery while my 11 is at 
88%. I just ordered a free SIM card from Helium for the 6s Plus, even 
though T-Mobile coverage in my area is marginal.

Probably will get an iPhone 17 if the standard model includes a 120Hz 
ProMotion display. But now it depends on the pricing and if Apple 
absorbs the tariffs by lowering their margins, or if they try to raise 
prices to keep the margins the same.
