Apple's prolific emoji designers rolled out some new additions on Tuesday, making it even easier for iPhone users to move their fingers even less. Among the incredibly useful newbies arriving in iOS 12.1 are a variety of redheads, an abacus, and ... a leg?

The update also includes a revamped bagel emoji to replace the much-derided original bagel introduced last month. When it debuted, Philadelphia Cream Cheese launched a campaign to add "a schmear of cream cheese" to the design. And in a sure sign the petition process has become a joke, it paid off. The new version looks much more like a New York bagel than the original, which looked like something you'd buy in a plastic bag in some Midwest grocery store.
