A clip of a user composing an SMS with the help of voice control and saying "racist" and for a brief moment seeing the word on the screen being replaced by "Trump" quickly went viral on Tiktok.
Apple's spokesperson blamed the error on phonetic overlap between the words and said on Tuesday that the company is working on a quick solution.
Others believe it's a deliberate action from someone in connection with a server update.
The question is whether someone has sneaked this into the data or the code, says John Burkey, founder of AI company Wonderrush, to New York Times.
The bug was discovered the day after Apple promised investments of 500 billion dollars in the USA over the next four years, a move many see as a way to appease the Trump administration.
