The update also addresses color artifacts in 2x zoom photography and touchscreen unresponsiveness when opening Notification and Control Centers simultaneously. While the patch resolves these software issues, it does not address a separate hardware-related speaker crackling problem reported by some users.

Apple Deploys iOS 27.0.1 to Resolve iPhone 18 Pro Face ID Crashes and Camera Glitches

Apple has released iOS 27.0.1, the first minor update for its latest operating system, primarily to address critical bugs affecting the iPhone 18 Pro. The update fixes a severe issue where devices would freeze and restart when Face ID failed to authenticate, a problem that emerged shortly after the iOS 27 launch two weeks ago. Additionally, the patch resolves a color artifact issue in photos taken at 2x zoom under specific lighting conditions on the Pro models and fixes a touchscreen unresponsiveness bug when opening Notification and Control Centers simultaneously. While the update is available for all iPhones running iOS 27, the most significant fixes target the new hardware. Apple also released corresponding updates for iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS, as well as security patches for older iOS 26 and macOS 26 devices.

Some early iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max owners report Face ID issues, including failed authentications (e.g., unlocking apps) and a “Face ID Not Available” message during setup, with devices sometimes freezing and rebooting to the lock screen; the problems may be linked to the new infrared camera placement under the display, and Apple is expected to address them in a future iOS 27 update.

iPhone 18 Pro Face ID Glitch Triggers Freezes and Reboots

A software glitch in iOS 27 appears to affect the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max's under‑screen Face ID, causing the device to freeze and reboot after a failed authentication when unlocking protected apps; it does not trigger from the lock screen, and a reproduction method involving tapping “Try Face ID Again” after a failed attempt is described by users. Apple has not commented yet, but a software patch is expected, with some suggesting a hardware swap as a misdiagnosis in forums.

Dynamic Island Downsized: iPhone 18 Pro Teardown Reveals Under-Display Face ID

REWA Technology’s teardown of the iPhone 18 Pro shows Apple shrank the Dynamic Island by moving Face ID’s infrared camera under the display in the top-left, with a special pixel pattern that lets IR light pass while the area still looks normal. The tested unit reveals the relocated IR camera, a 4,056 mAh battery, and a 48 MP main camera with variable aperture; it also has a physical SIM tray. The U.S. Pro Max is expected to use a Qualcomm modem, while the Pro uses Apple’s C2 globally (and the Pro Max outside the U.S. also uses C2).

Foldable iPhone May Drop Face ID and Telephoto Cameras

Apple's first foldable iPhone, possibly called iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra, is expected to debut Sept 9 with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup at a premium price. To fit a thin design, it may drop Face ID in favor of Touch ID on the side power button, omit a dedicated telephoto camera in favor of two 48MP sensors, and feature an outer 5.5-inch display with a 7.8-inch internal screen. MagSafe is expected to stay, and the device could ship with eSIM-only connectivity and potentially miss mmWave 5G in some versions; details such as button layout and crease reduction hinge remain speculative.

Foldable iPhone Ultra May Skip Five Pro Features

Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra is expected to debut around $2,000–$2,500 but is said to drop several flagship features: Face ID/TrueDepth may be replaced by a Touch ID side button with an under‑display selfie camera, there’s likely no dedicated Telephoto/third rear camera, no Action button, no physical SIM card slot (eSIM‑only in many markets), and possibly no mmWave 5G depending on the C2 modem. MagSafe may still be included. The design is said to resemble the iPhone Air, and Apple will announce it alongside iPhone 18 Pro models at the September event, though these compromises could spark debate among buyers.

Apple's Foldable iPhone Ultra: major gaps vs the iPhone 18 Pro

Tom's Guide argues that Apple's expected foldable iPhone Ultra will trade some flagship features for the novelty of a foldable form factor, notably a missing telephoto lens (relying on the main camera with digital zoom) and the absence of Face ID, potentially replaced by Touch ID. With a rumored price north of $2,000, the Ultra may underdeliver on core camera and biometric capabilities compared with the iPhone 18 Pro/Max, prompting questions about whether the premium is worth it.
