There is no exact release date when the 59 new emojis will be available but they are expected to come with the iOS 13 update that has already begun rolling out.

The launch comes at similar time with the release of the iPhone 11 last month.

The new iPhones resemble recent models, but with better cameras and new colours. Apple announced it will still sell older models for less; the iPhone 8 will now cost from $869 and the iPhone XR now costs from $1149.
