Apple's iOS 27.0.1 Fixes iPhone 18 Pro Restarts, Camera Bug
Apple rolled out iOS 27.0.1 on Monday to fix Face ID-related restarts and a 2x zoom color artifact on iPhone 18 Pro models, plus iOS 26.7 for older iPhones.
Apple has released the iOS 27.0.1 update, which began rolling out to users on Monday. The patch targets several bugs affecting the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, according to Engadget.
The most serious fix addresses a bug that caused iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max devices to restart unexpectedly after Face ID failed to authenticate. The update also resolves a color artifact in photos taken on the iPhone 18 Pro at the 2x zoom level.
In addition, iOS 27.0.1 fixes a glitch that made devices unresponsive when Notification Center and Control Center were opened at the same time.
Alongside the new firmware, Apple released iOS 26.7, a security-patch update for iPhone 17 and earlier models.
