The bug was later fixed and now Apple devices respond with the age of Trump.
Several Apple users had a field day on Monday after the company’s virtual assistant began answering a question about the president’s age by listing the age of vice president-elect Kamala Harris. He promoted multiple videos on social media and even promoted some conspiracy theories.
Images and photos posted on Twitter showed that when Siri was asked, “How old is the president?”, He seemed to reply, “Kamala Harris was born 56 years ago, on Tuesday, October 20, 1964.”
It sparked a lot of comments on social media, as the virtual assistant did not list the age of President-elect Joe Biden or current President Donald Trump. There were also many comments about how the assistant knew who the real president is.
Here’s how people reacted to the video:

Ok, I bit. I asked Siri “How old is the president?” and gave me Kamala Harris and her date of birth.

Has anyone signed up for @Joe Biden since Siri started saying that Kamala Harris was president? Did they give that man 24 hours before making it so dirty? 🤣

However, many of those who tried to ask the same question later said that the problem seemed to have been fixed. To the question, the virtual assistant now cites the era of Trump.
I tried again and Siri now responds with information about Donald Trump. Apparently Siri’s Kamala Harris response was due to using an older version of iOS (“Wolfram-Alpha” vs “Knowledge”). That’s what I can collect from Twitter and internet networks pic.twitter.com/BlX7r8y1xf

I asked # Siri “How old is the president?” Down here was the reply at 10:13 pm ET. I think the glitch has since been fixed (I’ve tried since then and got the proper answers), but still, it’s more STRANGE! doesn’t help the big-tech narrative #TrishIntel pic.twitter.com/DfzpkTg5RE

Try again. Back to normal. pic.twitter.com/dXs8NECZJ4

Siri just changed! Tried it 1/2 hour ago and responded to Kamala Harris. Now he ages Donald Trump! Caught!

Harris created history by becoming the first woman, woman of color, and person of South Asian descent to be elected Vice President of the United States. Biden will now remain president-elect until January 20, when he will be inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States, and Harris as vice president.
