Apple has acknowledged a bug in its dictation feature that briefly suggests the word “Trump” when a user types the word “racist”. The issue affects some iPhones, which use speech recognition models to power the voice-to-text function. The company claims that phonetic overlap is the cause of the glitch, and other words with an “R” consonant are also affected. A fix is being rolled out today in response to user complaints on social media. Apple had recently faced criticism for its hiring plans, which include a new factory in Texas, amidst Donald Trump’s threats to impose tariffs.
