The next iteration of Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS 12.1, is shaping up to be quite an interesting update.
On Tuesday, Apple announced that the update will include more than 70 new emoji. Most important of these, of course, is the llama emoji.
Besides the tiny digital representation of this friendly, furry creature, new iOS emoji include new characters with red, gray and curly hair, new emoji for bald people, a bunch of other animals (swan, raccoon, parrot, etc), and emoji representing sports (softball, lacrosse, etc) and food (cupcakes, donuts, mango, etc). Check the GIF below for a quick taste of what’s to come.
There will be other improvements as well. CNET reports that iOS 12.1 will fix the charging issue which plagues some iPhone XS and XS Max users. There’s no word on whether a recently discovered security issue, which lets you access contacts and photos behind iPhone’s lock screen, will be fixed as well.
The iOS 12.1 update is currently available as public beta, and will be available to everyone later this fall (no exact date yet, though).
