Not sure why the headline was modified here. If it was "Apple decides to not fix ...." that would be news.
on my iphone it briefly displays “you” when i say racist in the imessage app. i’m curious what happens for other people…
It's not a bug, it's a feature.
There's no way this is a bug, right? There is no phonetic overlap between the words "racist" and "Trump", and the political implications seem too obvious for it to be coincidence. Surely this was intentional, even if it wasn't sanctioned by Apple's leadership.
Haters getting mad because the war is already lost for them. Trump is the President. Resorting to little games like this, and will be fun to watch the pain and tears for the next 4 years.
Variety - "Tests with iPhone’s Dictation indicate that other words that can produce “trump” include “ramp,” “rhubarb,” “rhythmic” and “ruffles.”"
Also [dupe] and kinda lame for the mainstream media to be picking up.... and then lying since Variety said that 16 hours ago, unless Variety was wrong, but that's trivial for the BBC/Newsweek to check.
Gets all the nut job HN conspiracy people out of the woodwork and keeps both sides fighting, so I guess they get their clicks.
It is interesting technically, if only there was a forum for that.
Many moons ago, I randomly discovered that the built-in text to speech engine on Windows 2000 would pronounce “crotch” as “crow’s nest.” Never found any reference to it online at the time, although today it’s pretty well documented. It’s possible I was one of the first people to find that.
I’m sure it was a bug and not some kind of self-censoring thing, but I had (and still have) no good explanation for it. Language is weird.
