Users who posted about the problem found that the iPhone’s dictation feature would briefly show “Trump” when a user said “racist” before correctly switching to “racist.” According to Apple, the speech-recognition feature may temporarily display words with some phonetic overlap before landing on the correct word.

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.
