Fuck off

 If you think Apple doesn't think the customer is stupid by
advertising first and foremost (as if it's a big deal) the 18 new
emoji, what does Apple's oft loud touting of "*NEW!*" yellow iPhones
& emoji tell you?

'iOS 17 brings big updates to Phone, Messages, and FaceTime that give
you new ways to express yourself as you communicate. StandBy delivers
a new full-screen experience with glanceable information designed to
view from a distance when you turn iPhone on its side while charging.
AirDrop makes it easier to share and connect with those around you and
adds NameDrop for contact sharing. Enhancements to the keyboard make
entering text faster and easier than ever before. iOS 17 also includes
updates to Widgets, Safari, Music, AirPlay, and more.'

That is the entire first paragraph.
