I'm so glad Apple is finally adding these emojis! My father has been in a wheelchair for years, my brother uses a hearing aid, and I work at a guide dog training center - these new emojis feel very relevant and I'll definitely be using them 👍

The thing that makes me more angry about this is that they think they can summarize a disability like these just with a small picture. No, a small icon cannot tell the world of sufferings and misunderstanding these people get.
-Hello.
-Hello.
- You still (person in wheelchair emoji)?

Yes it is truly offensive. By chance, how do you send these emojis to our friends with disabilities without insulting their current state? Surely, kids will use this feature as a meme or an insult to their peers. What a stupid move by Apple and should be remove from the list of emojis.

I think that the Prosthetic Arm and Leg should also be able to be in plastic or wood not just metals.

Sorry for disabled ones, they been so far completely fine without impersonating them into some stupid tiny picture, but no, thanks to Apple they going to be involved in this nonsense cliche so everybody can send you those stupid emoji to pretend they are disabled or just to remind you every time what you are? Pathetic

Meanwhile iIS devices still don't support USB-C, iPad is powerful but a toy. No new Mac Mini, no Mac Pro with BYOM(onitor), no pen operated iPhone like Galaxy Note. iTunes still a nightmare. Etc.
