Apple’s (NASDAQ:$AAPL) 10th-anniversary smartphone went on sale across the world last Friday, and the iPhone X – also called the iPhone 10 – has already sold out in 20 massive U.S. cities. In fact, if an individual were to go to Apple’s website, they would see an alert that you informs you that there is a backlog of 3 to 4 weeks before you can get your hands on one.
However, those that were lucky enough to get their hands on the iPhone X last week are now reporting that it shipped with an Auto-correct glitch.
So, what’s the problem? Some users have reported that the letter “i” does not appear when you type it, rather it auto-corrects to the letter “A”. Not only that, the letter “A” comes with an odd symbol after it – something that appears to be a question mark within a box.
In other words, “iPhone” typed becomes “A[?]phone.”
To no surprise, customers took to Twitter to complain about the bug. Apple has since acknowledged the issue and has released the following self-help tutorial that will allow users to “work around the issue until it’s fixed in a future software update.”
Here’s what to do if you’re experiencing the Auto-correct glitch on the iPhone X, according to Apple:
- Head on over to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement
- Tap the + icon
- Where it says Phrase, type an uppercase “I”. For Shortcut, put in a lowercase “i.”
According to an Apple spokesperson, there will be a real software fix available for beta release this week, “with wide rollout to follow.”
Hopefully, that will fix the glitch, and then all you have to worry about is not dropping it.
