It's cool how the Map icon denotes park space in green around the Apple Park building (spaceship). Fitting because of the massive rehabilitation project with native flora.

I really don't understand the obsession with emoji and their use by anyone over 12 years old.  In most circumstances, I'd be embarrassed to use one.  Same for that sticker crap that Apple was promoting in recent TV ads.   Maybe I've become a "get off my lawn" guy, but I can't imagine myself using any of that at any age.   Apple is selling $600 phones and $3000 computers to people who use stickers in text messages?  

Yeah you’re an old grumpy guy now. Different strokes. I’m in my 40s and my friends and I enjoy well placed emoji. They represent feelings or ideas in a more playful way than words alone. It’s fun. It‘s a form of gamification. 

Ok, but why are their hundreds of "emojis" that have nothing to do with emotion?  Messages now "suggests" that I swap out the word "train" for a teeny picture of a train.  How does that make any sense?  It just seems like this jumped the shark a few years ago.  The proportion of emojis used satirically (e.g., "look how stupid this is that I swapped out a work for a picture" as opposed to "this emoji added value to the conversation or was more efficient than typing the word") is very high.

X Code totally rules for iOS / MacOS / tvOS development.

Very few Apple developers will use this for dot net cross platform development.
