Check out the 8 new emoji coming to your iPhone in iOS 26
There are plenty of reasons to look forward to iOS 26 — the debut of Apple's new Liquid Glass design language, custom backgrounds for text conversations, and CarPlay upgrades — but we are here to give you eight more. This week, the Unicode Consortium unveiled the emoji that will arrive as part of the Unicode 17.0 release this fall. It is a fairly eclectic crew, featuring a treasure chest, an apple core, and even Bigfoot. Sadly, they won't join your iPhone's emoji keyboard on day one, but a future iOS 26 update will include all eight.
New emoji coming in iOS 26
First, let's take a look at the standard versions of all eight emoji characters that are being added to the Unicode Standard in Unicode 17.0:

Here's a full list of the official names of all the new emoji, in case you're curious:
Trombone
Treasure Chest
Distorted Face
Apple Core
Fight Cloud
Ballet Dancers
Hairy Creature
Orca
Apple always creates its own variations of the emoji before rolling them out to its software. As a result, iPhone owners often have to wait a few months to get their hands on the new characters. The emoji that arrived in Unicode 16.0 didn't hit iPhones until iOS 18.4 launched in March 2025. That was a full six months after Unicode 16.0 was released.
Thankfully, this is a much more entertaining set than what we got in Unicode 16.0. I'm not sure when or where I'll use half of them, but I could see 'Fight Cloud' becoming a mainstay in group chats with family members. And that 'Distorted Face' sure is something.

Why Block (XYZ) Shares Are Soaring Today
July 21 - Block (NYSE:XYZ) shares advanced roughly 8% on Monday morning after it was selected to enter the S&P 500 Index later this week. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Sign with XYZ. The inclusion follows Chevron's (NYSE:CVX) completed acquisition of Hess (NYSE:HES), creating a vacancy in the benchmark index that Block is set to fill starting Wednesday. Despite a 14% drop in 2025 prior to the news, the digital payments company is now drawing renewed attention from analysts, many of whom point to rising momentum across its key business segments. Jefferies recently lifted its price target on Block to $90 from $75 while maintaining a buy rating. The firm expects a pickup in gross payment volume, particularly in the U.S., to support further upside. Analysts also highlighted the potential for growth at Cash App, Block's consumer-focused payments platform, which could see stronger user engagement in the coming quarters. Deutsche Bank, which also holds a bullish stance, noted signs of improving transaction trends, citing room for further acceleration. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Opendoor stock gains more than 100% as retail frenzy continues to push shares higher
Opendoor Technologies (OPEN) stock continued its meteoric rise on Monday, with shares rising over 100% in afternoon trading as the meme stock-style rally continues. The long-beleaguered iBroker platform saw its share price gain 188% last week, bringing the stock from just above $0.50 less than a month ago to now above $4. Shares still remain far below their all-time high of $39.24 reached in February 2021. Powering the stock, in part, has been a public bull case from Carvana (CVNA) turnaround spotter EMJ Capital and a ream of speculative bets posted to the subreddit wallstreetbets, a haven for meme stocks, have both added significant fuel to the fire. Retail trading activity in the stock has surged in recent weeks, according to data from VandaTrack. Since going public through a SPAC transaction in December 2020, Opendoor has yet to post a profitable quarter. But EMJ Capital principal Eric Jackson — who first gained notoriety for being an early believer in turnaround potential at Carvana — predicted in an X thread laying out his bull case on the stock that it would report its first quarter of positive EBITDA in August and that he sees a price target of $82. The company was served a warning that it faced potential delisting from the Nasdaq in May after trading under $1 for more than 30 days. In June, it settled a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company did not properly disclose its price algorithm's inability to adapt to changes in the housing market. As with meme-stock predecessors GameStop (GME) and AMC (AMC) during their own retail-frenzied runs throughout 2021, short bets on Opendoor had hit a record level, accounting for more than 25% of the company's float by the end of June.
