🧐 What’s the deal with iPhone emojis in 2025
Emojis on iPhones are tied to Apple’s operating system (iOS) updates. When Apple adds support for new Unicode emoji sets or designs (approved by the Unicode Consortium), they usually roll them out to users via iOS updates like iOS 18.4, iOS 26, etc. There are two types of “new emojis”:
-
Already released – those that are live now if you update your device.
-
Upcoming / expected – announced by Unicode, but may come later in iOS versions.
✅ Already Released: iOS 18.4 (March 31, 2025)
Apple introduced 8 new emojis in iOS 18.4. These are now usable on iPhones (as well as iPad, macOS, etc., with the corresponding versions).
Here are the new emojis:
Emoji Purpose / Where you might use it Face with Bags Under Eyes To express tiredness, exhaustion Fingerprint Identity, security, individuality Splatter (purple “splat”) An abstract, playful / artistic symbol Root Vegetable (radish / turnip etc.) Food / farmers / cooking contexts Leafless Tree Seasonal, metaphorical (change, autumn etc.) Harp Music, art, classical references etc. Shovel Gardening, work, digging etc. Flag of Sark A geographic flag – of the tiny Channel Island of Sark Also, the design for the Syrian flag emoji was updated in this releas
🔮 What’s Coming: New Emojis in iOS 26 / Unicode 17.0
More emojis have been announced under Unicode 17.0, and these are expected to arrive on iPhones in future updates (probably iOS 26.1 or 26.2, if not later).

Upcoming Unicode 17.0 emoji set Likely in early to mid 2026 via an update (e.g. iOS 26.1 / iOS 26.2).

🔍 Key Upgrades & New Features
Area | What's New / Improved |

Front camera also upgraded to ~18MP with Center Stage support; new “square sensor” to better adapt between portrait & landscape orientation. |

⚠ What Might Be Less Exciting / Trade-Offs
-
Although display enhancements are big, non-Pro models may still lag behind Pro / Pro Max in very high-end display specs or the best telephoto zoom.
Physical size & weight might increase for Pro / Max because of larger batteries or changes in internal design.
The fastest transfer speeds via USB-C might be limited in base models vs Pro models.
