Phone Manufacturer Apple has revealed new emojis that will feature in iPhones this month, including a a bearded woman, a new syringe and Apple-branded headphones.
There are 217 new emoji designs, as well as a few updates of already-existing designs, for iOS 14.5, the new version of Apple’s mobile operating system.
A whopping 200 of the 217 new emojis in this release will let smartphone users choose from a more ‘inclusive set of couples’.
Popular emojis like ‘couples kissing’ and ‘couples with heart’ are now depicted in even more variations of skin tones and genders.Â
There is also now the option to choose either a woman with a beard or a man with a beard, rather than just a person with a beard as before, also in a range of skin tones.
Apple has also removed the blood from the syringe emoji in iOS 14.5, making it more versatile to represent vaccination and take into account the current pandemic.
