Overview

  • Update addresses Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth dropouts on iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Pro models, fixes camera artifacts under certain lighting, and resolves a cellular connection issue seen after iOS 26.
  • Apple lists additional fixes including blank app icons after applying a custom tint and a problem where VoiceOver could become disabled following the iOS 26 upgrade.
  • Both iOS 26.0.1 and the security‑only iOS 18.7.1 patch CVE‑2025‑43400 in FontParser with improved bounds checking, a flaw that could be triggered by malicious fonts via documents, email or web content.
  • Companion releases are live across the ecosystem, including iPadOS 26.0.1, macOS Tahoe 26.0.1, watchOS 26.0.2, tvOS 26.0.1 and visionOS 26.0.1, with platform‑specific stability fixes.
  • Early user feedback points to cooler thermals, better battery life and improved stability for many devices, though some report lingering CarPlay or connectivity issues as Apple tests iOS 26.1 in beta.
