iOS 27 to Introduce New Emojis
Apple is planning to release iOS 27 later this year, which will include nine new emojis suggested by the Unicode Consortium.
These emojis include a smiley face, a monarch butterfly, a pickle, a lighthouse, a meteor, an eraser, a handheld net, and leftward and rightward thumb gestures.
Apple is also expected to launch the iPhone 18, which may be delayed to early 2027.
The iPhone 18 will feature a new A20 Bionic chip for better performance, a 24-megapixel front camera, improved battery life, and new color options.
