Apple Releases iOS 27.0.1 With Face ID Bug Fix
Key Points:
- Apple has released iOS 27.0.1, the first update following the iOS 27 release two weeks ago, which can be downloaded via Settings on compatible devices.
- The update specifically addresses Face ID issues on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, including authentication failures, unexpected restarts, and error messages during Face ID setup.
- Additional fixes in iOS 27.0.1 include resolving a color artifact in photos taken at 2x zoom under certain lighting conditions and touchscreen unresponsiveness when opening Notification Center and Control Center simultaneously.
- Apple has also released iPadOS 27.0.1, visionOS 27.0.1, and iOS/iPadOS 26.7.1 updates for devices not yet updated to version 27.
- The new Face ID hardware on iPhone 18 Pro models, which places the infrared camera under the display, may be linked to these issues, but Apple confirms they can be fixed through software updates.
