Apple rescues the peach emoji

“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.”

    1. 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?

        1. I could not care less what you are waiting for. Besides, I thought you were gone? Another liberal liar, gee, what a surprise … 💥🔫💥🔫💥🔫💥🔫💥🔫
