Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know that Apple have just announced the upcoming release of their brand new phones - the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X. One of the cool new features includes 'Face ID technology Animojis' which basically allows the user to create their own 3D emojis in the that are based on your own facial expressions. Pretty cool right?
Before you start patting Apple on the back for coming up with such an amazing feature, hold your horses, as it was actually an idea that was shown on an episode of Black Mirror many years ago. Fans of the show were keen to point out that the the custom emoji's were seen during the series two episode 'The Waldo Moment' in which a cartoon character decided to run for political office.
Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker wasn't about to let Apple take the credit, and posted this to their Twitter account:
I wonder what other Black Mirror epiodes will end up coming true?! Sadly, probably most of them. Oh how bleak!
'Black Mirror' created the iPhone 8's new feature a long time ago
