No More Emoji Apps on the App Store. Why Apple?

     Hey Guys, something interesting for you iOS users out there, myself included. Due to the recent release of iOS 6, Apple has now stated they are going to remove all emoji apps off of the app store? Why?They claim that iOS 6 now offers support to ALL users now, even though iOS 5 had Emoji support as well. I had my Father's old iPhone 3 when he got a Blackberry Torch ( he hated that phone; I kind of did as well), and due to a Jailbroken iPhone- the possibilities are endless people, for example Pokemon!- I had Emojis on iOS3 but besides the point. This is a letter all these Emoji App owners are getting.

Hello [redacted],
We are writing to let you know your app, [redacted], has been removed from the App Store because it is no longer needed to unlock Emoji.
Since iOS 6 now provides Emoji support to all users, your app is no longer in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines
2.12 Apps that are not very useful, are simply web sites bundled as apps, or do not provide any lasting entertainment value may be rejected
If you have questions about the removal of your application, please contact App Review at appreview@apple.com. Please include the App ID and the name of your application in your email.
Thank you and best regards,
App Review

With Over 1,000+ Emoji Apps in the App Store, Apple is probably still in the process of removing all these Emoji Apps. I'll miss you Emoji; don't worry you're still on my phone always ;).
