The Apple iOS 8.3 update comes with a package of many new emojis which clearly depict the urban life like the black-skinned santa and gay people as well. Besides, this helps to address complaints by users about absence of emojis on the gay style of life or regarding the absence of variety of skin color.
Apple is the largest and most demanded electronics manufacturer worldwide. Moreover, it has managed to keep up the scales and baffle its users each time an update is rolled out. This time, however, it has reached all new zeniths, according to reports by Sky News.
Providing detailed reports about the update, News Max went on to add about the user complaints regarding the absence of emojis of tacos, moustaches, menorahs etc. The update has also led to the inclusion of the Australian and Canadian flag to the list of emojis.
Furthermore, each human emoji is now available in five skin tones which have been developed by The Unicode Consortium using the Fitzpatrick scale which was developed by dermatologists for skin tones. Moreover, clarifying the stand on yellow human emojis, Apple has remarked that it was in no way derogatory to the Asians and this was just a general representation of the face using the Lego template.
Moreover, the update features notions of what seems like gay families with people of same gender being featured with children. However, experts seem to believe that this can represent the single man/ woman living stance with a family member of the same gender. Besides, it also features same gender people making kissing gestures with a heart drawn in the middle hence referring to a same gender relationship.
The update comes subsequent to Apple's chief executive's announcement last year wherein he confessed to being gay. The update rolled out is good, however, the human race has a long way to go to accept the real implications of these emojis.
