Autocorrect has become a universal source of frustration, but a recent development shows it may be smarter than you think. Or at least cheekier.

Twitter is abuzz with users who have noticed the newest version of Apple's iOS software corrects the word "lardass" to "Kardashian".

So for anyone typing "lardass" into their iPhone with the new 9.2 version of iOS software, they'll see "Kardashian" automatically pop up.

And while autocorrections have traditionally been the source of complaints, it seems most people tend to agree with the Apple insult linking to the star famous for her curves.

One person wrote: "You're not wrong iPhone. You're not wrong."

Another wrote: "Someone at Apple thinks they're real funny."

Kim Kardashian has long been noted for her behind and when she posed on the cover of Paper magazine with a champagne saucer resting on her bottom the image was so widely shared it was touted as "breaking the internet".
