Apple Ships iOS 27.0.1 to Fix Touch, Face ID and Camera Bugs
The update addresses an unresponsive touchscreen and two issues specific to the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, including unexpected restarts.
Apple released iOS 27.0.1 for iPhone, a bug-fix update that resolves three separate issues, according to CNET. Two of the fixes apply specifically to the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
The first fix targets a bug that could leave the touchscreen unresponsive when Notification Center and Control Center are opened at the same time.
On the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, the update addresses a bug that could cause the device to restart unexpectedly when Face ID fails to authenticate.
A third fix applies to some iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max units: a bug that could produce a color artifact in photos captured at 2x under certain lighting conditions at f/1.48.
Apple released iOS 27 more than two weeks before iOS 27.0.1. Before this update, some iPhone 18 Pro users on Reddit reported the Face ID restart issue and advised others not to set up Face ID because of the bug.
