Apple fixes iPhone auto-correct glitch that changed ‘racist’ to ‘Trump’
February 26, 2025

Apple is facing scrutiny after a peculiar bug in its iPhone dictation feature surfaced online, triggering heated debates over potential political bias in Big Tech. Users have reported that when dictating the word “racist,” the word “Trump” briefly appears before being corrected. The glitch, widely discussed on social media, has particularly outraged conservative commentators, who accuse Apple of embedding political messages within its software.
Amid the growing controversy, a former Apple employee who worked on Siri, the company’s artificial intelligence assistant, weighed in on the matter. Speaking to The New York Times, the ex-employee suggested that the bug “smells like a serious prank,” raising concerns about possible tampering within Apple’s AI models.
The issue underscores the broader challenge of AI accuracy, especially as tech giants increasingly rely on artificial intelligence to power everyday digital tools. Apple’s dictation feature, like many AI-driven applications, depends on speech recognition models to transcribe spoken words into text. However, even minor flaws in these models can lead to unintended consequences—sometimes with significant public fallout.

Apple has responded to the issue, acknowledging the problem and assuring users that a fix is being deployed.
“We are aware of an issue with the speech recognition model that powers Dictation, and we are rolling out a fix today,” an Apple spokesperson said in a statement on Tuesday evening.
According to Apple, the error stems from phonetic overlaps in the speech recognition model, which sometimes cause words to momentarily appear before being corrected. However, the explanation has been met with skepticism from experts in the field of speech technology.

Peter Bell, a professor of speech technology at the University of Edinburgh, has cast doubt on Apple’s claim that the glitch is merely an accident. Speaking to the BBC, Bell suggested that the words “Trump” and “racist” are not phonetically similar enough for an AI system to confuse them organically. Instead, he believes the issue could stem from someone altering the underlying software.
“Such errors could be possible for less well-researched languages, but in this case, it probably points to somebody that’s got access to the process,” Bell stated.
The controversy comes as Apple ramps up its investment in artificial intelligence. The company recently announced a $500 billion investment in the United States over the next four years, which includes plans for a massive data center in Texas dedicated to Apple Intelligence, its new suite of AI-driven features.
While Apple remains one of the most influential players in the AI space, this latest glitch highlights the complexities and risks associated with integrating artificial intelligence into consumer technology. With political tensions already high around issues of bias in Big Tech, the incident has only fueled further debate over whether AI can ever be truly neutral.
