iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max may unexpectedly restart when Face ID fails to authenticate

A color artifact may appear on photos captured at 2x under certain lighting conditions at f/1.48 on a small number of iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max devices

With today’s iOS 27.0.1 rollout, Apple officially admits that the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max had a Face ID authentication issue.

After the September 18 launch, iPhone 18 Pro users began reporting unexpected restarts. This problem was widely reported during Face ID authentication. Some contacted Apple and returned the device, while others kept waiting for a fix.

This new update fixes unexpected restarts caused by Face ID authentication failure. However, specific details of this failure are unknown. What’s interesting is that Apple hasn’t published the CVE details for this update either, keeping the fixes unknown.
