Apple has released iOS 27.0.1, an iPhone update that addresses three bugs, and users can install it now. The update is available by opening Settings, tapping General, selecting Software Update, and then tapping Update Now and following the onscreen prompts. Apple detailed the fixes in the update's release notes, according to CNET.
One of the bugs the update resolves could leave an iPhone's touchscreen unresponsive when a user tries to open the Notification and Control centers at the same time. That issue is not limited to a specific model, based on the release notes. The fix arrives as part of the same update that covers the other two bugs.
The remaining two issues affect only the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. One of those bugs could cause the devices to restart after a failed Face ID authentication. Some users on Reddit encountered the problem on the new device and advised others against setting up Face ID because of it.
Apple says that bug is resolved once the update is installed, meaning owners can set up the security feature if they have not already done so. The other device-specific bug could produce a color artifact in photos taken with certain settings. Apple did not offer further detail on which settings trigger the artifact, based on the release notes.
The release notes summarize the software as providing bug fixes for the iPhone and list the resolved issues. Among them are the touchscreen problem tied to the Notification and Control centers and the two iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max issues. The update carries the version number iOS 27.0.1.
The release arrives as Apple's iOS 27 cycle continues, and coverage of the platform has also addressed why users might not see iOS 27.1 on their devices. For those seeking more on iOS 27, additional information about the update is available. The company has not indicated when a further release might arrive.
For iPhone owners in the United States and elsewhere, the update is a standard software download delivered directly to the device. No carrier action or in-store visit is required. Users who have not yet set up Face ID on an iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone 18 Pro Max can do so after installing the update.
