Apple Shows Off New 'Memoji' Feature | CNBC

[ttz]

Apple is using this technology to make people used to seeing themselves in AR. So they dont freak out when it gets more advanced.

Imagine having so little to promote with your OS launch that you throw in a presentation that's just a messages update.

[prodmkey]

i actually thought memoji was that you can dress up as memes lmao

[kokohtat]

Very easy and great fun!
Memoji is the amazing compared with others
Good job apple

[mishanshrestha]

Useless for many people but still they did a great job 👍

[payton]

Kinda stupid, please make something for other phones apple, I have a 6 s+ and probably will never get an iphoneX so I feel like many people are missing out :(

[BellaBellsTV]

I now hope once I’m old enough to get a phone I could get this

[christellmelendez]

😭I cannot get it I only have the 8+ and will probably never get the X

[zalian]

Gotta wait until September for iOS 12 so animojis can come out on iPad.

[ggiillii]

We really needed it...
This is just dumb...

[petterforsberg]

Federighi's Memoji sure doesn't do that hair force one mane of his any justice!

[LittleRedCherrie]

What’s the difference to bitmojy that has existed before?

[JBTech.Genius]

Apple will release cheaper iPhone X then everyone can try Animoji and Memoji.

[Ehk]

Hey apple why does my ipad pro 3rd gen recognize my face(memoji)

When I show my photo-a 2D photo...?
Not my real face???

[ちもちも-fp]

I updated my iOS to 12 with my iPhone SE and I can’t find Memoji app...

[PhoneManiacYT]
