“Long live the peachbutt!” Alex Fitzpatrick reports for TIME Magazine. “Apple ruffled many a feather earlier this month when it looked like its peach emoji would no longer resemble a posterior, which many people use it to represent.”
“Those who were dismayed at the decision will be happy to know that Apple appears to have reversed course, instead offering a peach that arguably looks even more like a butt,” Fitzpatrick reports. “The refreshed peach emoji is one of many such changes coming with Apple’s iOS 10.2 upgrade, currently available in beta.”
Fitzpatrick reports, “The update also includes a deep roster of totally new emoji, including the extremely useful ‘facepalm.'”

I’m so glad that creative Johnny saved the day, as this is far more important than any other product that Apple would ever release.
I think I just visualised a whole new emoji just for you, can you see what it is yet?
It it’s a skull full of shit it’s yours.
Righhhht. Because you know that Jony spent many hours on this peach emoji issue…not!
Your griping is infantile.
Thanks Apple
We need the Peach butt Emoji….
Good news indeed. The future of the peach emoji had been a little fuzzy for a while. This goes to show that you can push for glute-free only so far.
Nothing like a sweet peach butt 🍑 or a roaring revolver! 🔫🔫🔫
Sorry, this is a roaring revolver … 💥🔫💥🔫💥🔫
On another note Jony, to be consistent with the GUI design starting with iOS7 — consider total removal of Skeuomorphism Illustrative EMOJIS. Like leather in shoes 👞 and handbags 👜, felt in the top hat 🎩, wood from an old radio 📻 … I could go on and on.
To be consistent with iOS minimalist abstract design that abhors and banished Skeuomorphism — it is about time to keep the house in consistent order in regard to emojis. No?
I was waiting for someone to renew the gun emoji issue again. Didn’t take long… Get a life.
I could not care less what you are waiting for. Besides, I thought you were gone? Another liberal liar, gee, what a surprise … 💥🔫💥🔫💥🔫💥🔫💥🔫
