New Emoji for iPhone

Now, for the first time, Apple has revealed what the emoji will look like on iPhones in honour of “World Emoji Day.”

Apple didn’t reveal every single new character — there have to be some surprises, after all — but it did give us a look at a few of them, including a lobster, cupcake, redheads, and more.You won’t be able to get the new symbols on your iPhone just yet, however – Apple typically releases new emoji as part of a software update sometime in September.

But for now, here’s an early look at some of the new emoji confirmed to be arriving later this year. 

You’ll now have a new way to say happy birthday, or to give someone “puppy dog eyes.”
