Apple has launched iOS 27.0.1, its first update following the initial release of iOS 27 just two weeks ago. Although this is a minor update, it is relevant not only to users of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max but also to earlier models starting from the iPhone 11.

To install the update, users should navigate to the Settings app, select General, then Software Update. The download is slightly over one gigabyte, although it may be larger for those upgrading from iOS 26.
The update primarily addresses issues affecting the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, including a bug impacting Face ID functionality and color artifacts in photos taken under specific conditions. Additionally, a touchscreen responsiveness problem involving the simultaneous use of Control Center and Notification Center has been fixed for all compatible iPhones.
Notably, this update does not include any new security patches, following the more than 100 security fixes included in the initial iOS 27 release.
Initial reactions have been mixed, with some users reporting improved performance and others noticing a new line under the time display, which has been clarified as a design feature rather than a bug. Overall, the update seems to address critical issues without introducing new ones.
For users running iOS 27, it is advisable to update to 27.0.1 to resolve the Face ID and touchscreen bugs. A final judgment on the update will be provided on Tuesday, Oct. 6.
