OS 16.4 to bring 31 new emoji, including shaking face, pink heart, two pushing hands and more!
It's official, with today's release of the iOS 16.4 developer beta, we're getting our first look at the next set of emoji coming to our iPhones.
Seamless updates are also very time consuming on Android
devices that support them.

OS 16.4 to bring 31 new emoji, including shaking face, pink heart,
two pushing hands and more!
It's official, with today's release of the iOS 16.4 developer beta,
we're getting our first look at the next set of emoji coming to our
iPhones.
The new set of emoji was originally unveiled during the draft phase
last year, and not much has changed since - except that the shaking
head is now angled, where it wasn't before.
With these new emoji this will be one of the most sought after iOS
releases so you may wish to hurry up and get them now before servers
get congested.
Of course, these designs could still change before the final release
of iOS 16.4 (and iPadOS 16.4) ships to consumers in the weeks ahead.
And it wouldn't be surprising if the designs were tweaked, Emojipedia
notes, as it's happened before with emoji like the peach, troll, and
bagel.
But with the developer beta release, we have a fairly reliable look at
what's in store, following Unicode's certification of the next
version of emoji in September 2022, Emoji 15.0.
Among the highlights are the highly anticipated variations on the
heart emoji, including the much-in-demand pink heart, plus versions
in blue and gray. There are also two new pushing hand gestures for
both the left and right hand, which could be used either as "stop" or >together for a high five.
One of the more interesting additions, however, is a shaking face
emoji, which will likely be used as "I'm shook" by texters.
Further additions include animals like a donkey, moose, goose,
jellyfish, and a wing that may fit in with the animals but could use
to express flying in other more metaphorical ways, too.
Other new emoji span categories like food and drink, activity,
objects, and symbols and include a hyacinth, pea pod, ginger, folding
hand fan, hair pick, flute, maracas, and Khanda and wireless symbols.
While these emoji represent how they'll look on Apple devices, Emoji
15.0 will roll out to all supported platforms sometime in early 2023.
If you want to play with the emoji now, you'll have to download the
iOS 16.4 beta 1 release, which is available through Apple's Developer >Program. The final public release is expected to arrive sometime in
March or April 2023.

You might not care for the emoji but this is one of the most sought after releases for many people who buy the iPhone specifically for such things.

The background noise suppression (voice isolation) will be more
appreciated by people who have to make/receive calls. Annoying having a phone meeting with someone who is stuck in an airport with all the noise around them.
Emoji's are not that important to most people - though they may be quite popular for some.

Rubbish opinion with no foundation.
Not sure whether to laugh or cry if indeed there are people that buy the iPhone specifically for such things.
If you can find articles promoting everything but the emojis in iOS 16.4, then you have better search capabilities than I as I see emojis first & foremost in almost all the press that Apple marketeers gave to publishers.

The emojis are always mentioned, but the security updates are also
always mentioned. One other thing that is included in 16.4, finally, is
5G support on Google Fi. There was some sort of Google-Apple spat that delayed this for 2+ years.
Prove what you wrote above is true and I'll apologize.
Pro tip: "Most" is defined as greater than 50% of iPhone owners.
Good luck with your mission.
I showed you that almost all the articles you can find today on what's in
the iOS 16.4 release lead first and foremost with the 31 new emojis.

Right. You have no proof of most iPhone owners wanting these new emojis.
Hot air as usual.
It could just be that Apple knows that the
slice of the market that would want that feature comprises people who
are the least likely to keep their devices updated, and targets them
first in marketing material as a result.
That fact is nobody but
Apple knows what most iPhone users want - least of all Apple-hating
trolls.
Don't make the mistake of thinking it goes unnoticed that the reason
your little gang is claiming this is the only reason most people buy
iPhones
is to childishly lash out at iPhone users insinuating that
iPhone users are the ones who are juvenile when it's actually you
trolls who are being childish. You may think people don't see right
through this transparent juvenile troll, but you're dead wrong. And
while Arlen, your dear troll leader, regularly comes right out and
slings that direct insult at Apple users, calling them iKooks and
every other childish name in the book, the rest of you are apparently
too chicken shit to say it outright yourselves, so you resort to this >bullshit instead. You're not fooling any actual adult here.

Apple thinks so otherwise it wouldn’t be listed first among all the new “enhancements”. And as we are constantly reminded, Apple does all sorts of
studies about their user base and know what is “not needed” or “not wanted”. They certainly know what “is wanted” by the user base.

I think apple probably lists the security updates after the eye candy
so as to not draw as much attention to them.

This is just plain silly.
Are you saying Apple tricks people with bait (emojis) to get them to
update their phones?
everything Arlen says is true.

Yes, Apple knows their user base best. That's what I've been saying
all along. This is why emojis are the most important feature to
highlight.

I for one don't think that. I have an iPhone 14 and have had numerous iPhones ever since the iPhone 4.

This is the most reasonable explanation provided. Too bad nospam and
Jolly Roger couldn't admit Apple's security updates are something they
didn't want noticed.
It's the 31 emojis that Apple is widely promoting. Not the 33 bugfixes.

Has anyone considered that promoting the 31 emojis causes people to
update and get the 33 bugfixes that Apple really wants them to have?
That's already been mentioned in this thread. The mere idea that Apple
has to entice people with emojis for them to install security updates
says a lot about the users.

there is no evidence that apple had to do it to entice people, given
that the updates are automatic for nearly everyone and will occur no
matter what it said.

Obviously Apple feels a yellow body is an important differentiation feature (which is only allowed in iPhone 14s as part of Apple's enticement policy).
Apple knows its customer.
By knowing its customer, Apple has the same problem every company has which is differentiating their offering from everyone else by providing something the other guy doesn't have that Apple feels is important enough to Apple customers to entice them not go to the competition but to stay with Apple.
A company's differentiation strategy tells you what the company thinks its customers care about when choosing between Apple & Apple's competitors.
Obviously Apple feels emojis are extremely important to its customer base.
fixes that Apple really wants them to have?Apple knows what its customers want.
Apple promoted only the emojis.
Apple didn't even mention the bug fixes in the many release promotions.
Only quietly, way later than the emojis were promoted, were fixes noted.

Not so. They also announced, at the same time, other improvements,
notably the background voice suppression - something I welcome - and
hope that my Monday 10:00 am correspondent will have updated his phone
before he calls. Always noisy in his office.

iOS 16.4
This update introduces 21 new emoji and includes other enhancements, bug fixes, and security updates for your iPhone.
This update includes the following enhancements and bug fixes:
* 21 new emoji including animals, hand gestures, and objects are now
available in emoji keyboard
Is it 21 or 31 new emojis? This is very important!

More obviously, despite clear explanations, you don't understand that
Apple's customer base is not monolithic in its needs and tastes.

It's only 21 based on this official Apple 16.4 release note.
"21 new emoji including animals, hand gestures,

You won't have trouble finding it as it's the number one improvement. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213407
