Siri no also speaks a bunch of new languages: she will be able to translate English into German, Chinese, Spanish, French or Italian.

Summary | The new iPhone X has a new safety feature. Instead of the finger print, it scans the face of the user to unlock or transfer payments on Apple Pay. The face scanner is 3D so that it cannot be tricket with a photograph of the owner. It is artificially intelligent and can recognize the device owner despite different hairstyles, beards, glasses, and so on. The face scanner can also find an emoji which mimicks the users facial expression.

Summary | The new emoji movie for children is an animated film starring emojis as its main protagonists. Critics find it quite distasteful because it is full of casual advertising for major tech companies and because it does not address the danger of the internet at all. In Textopolis, the world in which emojis live, alphabetic letters are depicted as elderly with walking canes because the youth does not use letters anymore.

Topic Tags | emojis, marketing, smartphone
Summary | Nobody can imagine smartphone communication nowadays without emojis. Now there is an animated film starring emojis. The critics are not praising it. Apparently, the characters are quite one-dimensional (which makes sense however since they are emojis) and the product placement advertising tech firms in the movie is too frequent and obvious.

Language | English
Country | U.S.
Topic Tags | emojis, smartphone, technology-free, word/writing
Summary | The new Emoji movie is like its main character: "meh". The story is unimaginative and pretty obvious. People should try to spend those 86 minutes outside, reading a book, or talking face-to-face to another person instead of watching this movie.
