Apple iOS 10.2 is here. The tech giant has managed to deliver it in record time. The most recent update comes with a great secret feature.
The new surprise comes from Apple in the form of a new emoji. There are two new avatars in the package. One is called "Female Singer," and the other is called "Male Singer." While there may be other apps with a singer emoji, this happens to be a bit different.
The singer emoji is apparently inspired by David Bowie, the British singer who passed away in January. The look is strikingly similar to the late singer who was well-known for his androgyny.
