Our Complaints Were Heard! Apple's New Bagel Emoji Would Make Any New Yorker Proud

There was a ton of uproar when Apple released a new bagel Emoji a few weeks back. The bagel looked like a machine-made, machine-cut, boring plain bagel. The kind of bagel that no self-respecting New Yorker would ever eat. The complaints were heard by someboday at the tech company though, as a new version of the Emoji has appeared, with an appearance that would make any New Yorker proud.

Apple users with a taste for one particular breakfast stable can now rest easy.
