At long, long last, Apple has finally rolled out the new emojis. If you download iOS 8.3, you will have access to six different skin tones, as well as lots of same-sex couples and all kinds of diversity. The default is a super yellow Simpsons version of all emojis, but by clicking on the one you want, you’ll get your pick of skin tones and hair colors.
Twitter is experiencing all manner of feelings, as is Twitter’s way. Some are happy.
