Apple has replaced its bagel emoji with a new design that includes a filling of cream cheese.
It comes after numerous complaints to the technology giant.
When Apple first released the new emoji, many people were quick to criticise the bagel. As New York Magazine’s Grub Street reports:
The disappointment is truly overwhelming. Take a look at this clearly machine-cut monstrosity with its stiff and bready interior, which couldn’t possibly be redeemed by a few minutes in a toaster. And let’s talk about that distressingly smooth crust. What midwestern bagel factory did this bagel come out of? And is it really a bagel if there isn’t a disgusting amount of cream cheese that needs to be wiped off with a napkin before you can consume it?
Now Apple has re-designed the bagel and Philadelphia is celebrating the move:
Hooray! Bagel lovers everywhere united and convinced @Apple to turn the plain #SadBagel into a delicious #HappyBagel and we are celebrating. #ItMustBeThePhilly

But it hasn’t pleased everyone as some people who are lactose tolerant are not happy.
And vegans aren’t too happy either.

The problem was that a good bagel, especially for New Yorkers, shouldn’t look like it had come out of a factory, and it certainly shouldn’t look anything like a donut.
They need to show a bit of the cream cheese falling through the hole onto the floor and being wasted to make it really realistic.
