Joanna Stern has written about this before, but in her email newsletter this week, she addresses the fact that Apple Intelligence continues to misgender her spouse:
Here’s a notification for you, Apple: There is no husband.
Despite what my iPhone’s frequent notification summaries report, my husband isn’t messy, he isn’t sad and he definitely didn’t take out the garbage—because, again, I don’t have one. Wife? Yes. Husband? No.
She goes on:
And then there’s my hubby situation. Summaries of messages from my wife often include the word “husband”—usually when she’s talking about one of our sons. With a tap, you see the original notifications, so the confusion abates quickly, but it can still be shocking to see something so wrong.
Yep, this was totally ready to ship.
