We must rejoice in the power and beauty of language, for without it human expression will be reduced to mere coloured pixels on a screen. But an emoji cannot express the myriad of meaning that language allows for. While this is a comment on design, it is also reflective of the entire ethos of Apple.Ī picture speaks a thousand words, yes. Jony Ive, Apple’s Chief Design Officer, in a foreword to Apple’s recent photo book release, states that one of Apple’s design aims is to create: “objects that appear so simple, coherent and inevitable that there could be no rational alternative”.
#Pinpoint emoji update#
However, I resent that an update by a brand that is synonymous with innovation, is attempting to render my words obsolete. I’d like to note here that I am no ‘text purist’ I am sure that if the English department discovered my Twitter account I would be removed from my course. As I was typing my text the phone was suggesting that I replace the words I was using with emojis. However, recently (when using a far more organised person’s phone) I discovered something truly appalling.
I was unperturbed by either as too lazy to download the new system and have been pressing ‘remind me later’ for the past three months. The new flatter design sent people into paroxysms, and the lack of a lock screen left many limp.
The recent iPhone iOS 10 update, heralded as faster, slicker and more beautiful than its predecessors brought several new features to Apple customers this August.
