Apple released iOS 12.1 on Tuesday, which includes more than 70 new emoji, including redheads, a mango, and a lacrosse stick. There are 158 individual emoji when accounting for skin tone and gender variations, according to Jeremy Burge of Emojipedia.
Unicode - the consortium responsible for choosing the new emojis across all platforms - approved the new emoji in February, and they've been trickling out to platforms and devices ever since. But now, they'll finally arrive for iPhone 5S and later.
