Apple wrote in the update’s release notes that iOS 27.0.1 fixes three bugs. One bug the update addresses might cause your iPhone’s touchscreen to be unresponsive if you try to open your Notification and Control centers at the same time.

The other two bugs iOS 27.0.1 addresses are iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max specific. One bug might cause those devices to restart after failing to authenticate via Face ID. Some people on Reddit ran into this issue on the new device and advised others not to set up Face ID because of the bug. Once you download this update, the bug should be fixed, and you can set up the security feature if you haven’t already.

The other bug iOS 27.0.1 addresses could cause a color artifact to appear in photos taken with certain settings.

Here are the full release notes for iOS 27.0.1.

This update provides bug fixes for your iPhone, including fixes for the following issues:
