Keep your lobster emoji, I want a new MacBook Air

From Apple celebrates World Emoji Day:
More than 70 new emoji characters are coming to iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac later this year in a free software update. The new emoji designs, created based on approved characters in Unicode 11.0, include even more hair options to better represent people with red hair, gray hair and curly hair, a new emoji for bald people, and new smiley faces that bring more expression to Messages with a cold face, party face, pleading face and a face with hearts.
Joining the growing list of animals represented on the emoji keyboard are beautifully designed characters for the kangaroo, peacock, parrot and lobster, with the addition of new food emoji for mango, lettuce, cupcake, moon cake and other popular items.
Many additional characters across sports, symbols and more, will launch later this year, including a new superhero emoji, a softball, nazar amulet and infinity symbol.
Thousands of emoji are currently available on iOS, watchOS and macOS, including emotive smiley faces, gender-neutral characters, various clothing options, food types, animals, mythical creatures and more.
My take: I know, I know. Apple should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. What’s curdled my milk this morning is that I don’t need a lobster emoji, I need a new laptop. My mission-critical computer hasn’t had a major upgrade since March 2015, and I don’t trust Phil Schiller not to ruin it.
