It’s an exciting time to be an iPhone user. There’s iOS 26, of course, which brings a number of major changes to the platform. For the daring, there’s the iOS 26.1 beta, which continues to build upon the foundation of Apple’s latest OS. If that weren’t enough, however, it seems Apple is also working on yet another iPhone update—this time intended mostly to fix problems with the last one.
The update, iOS 26.0.1, could drop any time in the coming days. These types of updates aren’t necessarily unusual: Apple released iOS 18.0.1 three weeks after iOS 18 last year. The intention here is not to introduce new features or add changes; rather, you should notice bugs fixed and less instability.
Per MacRumors, we may see four key bugs squashed with iOS 26.0.1. Those could include the following:
A patch for a bug affected the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air’s cameras
A patch for a bug that causes wifi to disconnect and reconnect on the iPhone 17 series. Reportedly, this bug can also disconnect CarPlay in some cars.
A patch for a bug that affects search in the Calendar app.
A patch for a bug that stops some users from downloading Apple Intelligence models on the iPhone 17 series.
This is not an exhaustive list by any means. We won’t know exactly what Apple has planned for 26.0.1 until the update comes out. It’s possible there will be other bugs patched here, as well as security updates not included in this list.
You usually can tell how monumental an Apple update is by the numbers in its name: An update like iOS 26, a round number, indicates a major, one a year update; an update like iOS 26.1, with one decimal, denotes a minor update that still introduces new features; and an update like iOS 26.0.1, with two decimals, indicates a stability or security update.
When Apple does release iOS 26.0.1, you can install it from Settings > General > Software Update.
