iPhone 18 Pro Faces Early Face ID Glitches
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.
