Apple Releases iOS 26.0.1 For iPhone. Many users may have opted to install iOS 18.7 instead, in an effort to avoid bugs that typically come with major launches. Most iPhone users with an iPhone 11 and later should receive the update.
iPhone 17, including fixes for the following issues:
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth may occasionally disconnect on iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Pro models
- A small number of iPhone users may be unable to connect to a cellular network after updating to iOS 26
- Photos taken under certain lighting conditions with iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Pro models may include unexpected artefacts
- App icons may appear blank after adding a custom tint
- VoiceOver may become disabled for some users after updating to iOS 26
You won’t receive it if you’ve already installed iOS 26.1 Beta, like I did for my iPhone 15 Pro Max. That’s because iOS 26.1 beta 1 comes after iOS 26.0.1 chronologically, and once a software version is installed, you cannot install a lower version.
Important iOS 26.0.1 update fixes several annoying bugs
Most likely, those who installed iOS 26.1 Beta 1 will get the bug fixes with the release of iOS 26.1 Beta 2. Today’s release of iOS 26.0.1 will fix a few bugs, including one related to the rear cameras on the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the Fusion Max camera on the back of the iPhone Air.
