Apple Fixes iPhone Dictation Bug Linking 'Racist' to 'Trump'

The glitch, which briefly replaced the word 'racist' with 'Trump' in iPhone dictation, has been addressed in a software update.

Apple acknowledged a bug in its iPhone dictation feature that momentarily displayed 'Trump' when users said the word 'racist.'
The company attributed the issue to a phonetic overlap in its speech recognition model and confirmed a fix was being rolled out.
The glitch was highlighted in viral social media posts and replicated by some users, though not universally across devices.
Critics questioned potential bias in tech systems, while Apple maintained the issue was an unintended software error.
This incident follows broader scrutiny of tech companies' perceived political leanings and their impact on user experiences.
