THERE'S EVEN A VULCAN ONE

No more will you have to text 'live long and prosper'!

The emojis turn into aliens if you haven't got the update

So we suggest you avoid being invaded by aliens and install the update directly!

Why didn't iOS 8.3 include a middle finger emoji? 😒😔

Am I the only one that downloaded iOS 8.3 and looked for a middle finger emoji straight away?

But MORE people had issues with the lack of tacos

There's still no taco emoji so iOS 8.3 is a waste.
