Apple is fixing a bug within the dictation feature on some iPhones that
briefly suggests the word “Trump” when a word with an R consonant is
spoken, including “racist.”

The company is responding to the controversy after some iPhone owners
posted videos on social media this week to detail how the glitch works.

When users activated the dictation feature and said the word “racist,” the
word “Trump” appears in the text window before quickly being replaced by
the correct word, according to various videos posted online.

“We are aware of an issue with the speech recognition model that powers
Dictation and we are rolling out a fix today,” Apple said in a statement
sent to The Associated Press on Wednesday.
