No sooner did Apple release iOS 15.3 to the public this week than it already had its first iOS 15.4 beta out to developers — less than 24 hours later — and while this point release has already surprised us with one fascinating new feature, it’s also packing in a new collection of emojis for us all to enjoy.

To be clear, the new emojis aren’t really a surprise — they’re part of the Emoji 14.0 group that was proposed last year. Typically, it takes time for software makers to implement each new batch of emojis once they’re ratified, and in Apple’s case, that usually means that they never make it to the major point-zero release of a new iOS version.

For instance, last year it took until iOS 14.5 to bring the emojis introduced in the fall 2020 interim Emoji 13.1 release. The first betas of iOS 14.5 to include the new emoji appeared in February, so it’s fair to say that the timing for this new batch is right on schedule.

As usual, the folks over at Emojipedia are offering us a nice first look at what Apple is introducing in iOS 15.4, which is significant as Apple frequently puts its own spin on new emojis.

For instance, where the Emoji spec calls for a set of headphones, Apple naturally represents those with its own AirPods Max. It’s not just about product placement, though; last year, Apple also removed the blood from the Syringe emoji to make it more appropriate for use in representing vaccinations rather than blood tests.
