Apple Has Finally Fixed the Miserable Bagel Emoji in iOS 12.1

New emoji characters are developed and approved by the Unicode Consortium, but individual technology firms like Apple and Google get to throw their own spin on the new characters, sometimes to disastrous results.

If the latest bagel controversy is any indication, people really care about how their emojis look.

Well, Apple has heard those complaints and is now fixing the situation.

The Cupertino tech giant is reportedly revising its bagel emoji to appease lovers of the breakfast staple across the globe (and particularly in New York City).

To be fair, the old bagel emoji (which was never actually released in a public software update) looked a bit like a mass-produced, store-bought product. According to complaints, it also suffered from a lack of cream cheese or any discernible toppings.
