Apple emojis are too photorealistic--they really feel like they should be more cartoony. Right now they're solidly in the emoji uncanny valley.

It's the uncanny bagel hole.

I agree. Almost seems lazy to take a photo and call it an emoji. It might not actually be a photo, but the effect is the same. No style, no interpretation.

Imagine if the face emojis were just head shots of various stock photo models.
