iOS 27.0.1 Released, Fixing Face ID Issue on iPhone 18 Pro

Apple has released the iOS 27.0.1 update for iPhones. According to MacRumors, the new version fixes several issues that emerged after iOS 27, including a Face ID malfunction encountered by users of iPhone 18 Pro models.

In some cases, Face ID did not work when opening locked apps on the iPhone 18 Pro. The issue could also cause the device to freeze and then restart. Users also reported seeing a “Face ID is not available” warning while setting up Face ID and experiencing problems with the “Require Attention for Face ID” feature.

According to Apple’s release notes, iOS 27.0.1 fixes issues that could prevent Face ID from working properly on iPhone 18 Pro models.

The update also resolves a touchscreen malfunction. On some devices, the screen could stop responding to touch when Notification Center and Control Center were open at the same time. This issue has also been fixed with iOS 27.0.1.

Apple has also fixed a camera issue detected on a small number of iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models. Under certain lighting conditions, color distortion appeared in photos taken at an f/1.48 aperture and 2x zoom. The new update is also reported to have resolved this malfunction.

Rather than adding new features, iOS 27.0.1 is primarily an update focused on fixing issues found in iOS 27 and improving system stability.
