Apple today released iOS 27.0.1, the first update to the iOS 27 update released two weeks ago.
iOS 27.0.1 can be downloaded over the air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
According to Apple’s release notes, iOS 27.0.1 fixes an issue that could prevent Face ID from working properly on the iPhone 18 Pro.
Some iPhone 18 Pro users have complained that authentication may not work for tasks like unlocking a locked app. In some cases, the device freezes and then restarts. Other users saw a “Face ID is not available” message when trying to set up Face ID, and others experienced issues with the Require attention setting for Face ID. Apple’s release notes for the update are below.
This update provides bug fixes for your iPhone, including fixes for the following issues:
– iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max may restart unexpectedly when Face ID fails to authenticate
– Color artifact may appear in photos taken at 2x in certain lighting conditions at f/1.48 on a small number of iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max devices.
– Opening Notification Center and Control Center at the same time may cause the touchscreen to become unresponsive.
The iPhone 18 Pro models feature an infrared camera that sits under the display for the first time, but it’s unclear whether the hardware is causing an issue. Apple said last week that it would be able to fix Face ID bugs with a software update.
