Apple絵文字

iOS・macOS・watchOS・tvOSで使用されるApple独自の絵文字デザイン。精細でスキューモーフィックなスタイルで知られる。

Apple was one of the first platforms to adopt emoji, adding support in iPhone OS 2.2 (2008, Japan-only) and globally in iOS 5 (2011). Apple's emoji designs are often considered the "reference" designs because of the iPhone's global reach.

Apple's emoji are designed in-house and are copyrighted — they cannot be freely used in other products. Their style tends toward detailed, glossy, 3D-like renderings, though Apple has moved toward a flatter style in recent versions.

Apple is generally fast to adopt new Unicode emoji releases and occasionally introduces platform-specific design changes that make headlines (like the pistol-to-water-gun change in iOS 10).
