Post/AP say Apple fixes iPhone: Trump is not a racist

2025-02-27 09:13 ET - In the News

The National Post reports in its Thursday edition that 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." An Associated Press dispatch to the Post says that Apple 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 on-line. "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 Wednesday. The company said that the speech recognition models that power the voice-to-text feature might show words with some phonetic overlap. It also said that other words that have an "r" consonant were also erroneously triggering the bug. This week, Apple shareholders rebuffed an attempt to scrub corporate programs designed to diversify its work force. Apple's Canadian-traded shares closed Wednesday at $35.02, down 98 cents on the Cboe Canada exchange.
