Apple's iOS 26.0.1 update fixes a major Wi-Fi bug and includes other improvements.

Users who have installed iOS 26.1 Beta 1 will likely receive bug fixes with the launch of iOS 26.1 Beta 2. The new iOS 26.0.1 update addresses issues such as rear camera problems on the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the Fusion Max camera on the iPhone Air. CNN's Henry Casey found that when photographing a concert, an LED screen behind the band appeared blacked out in photos taken with both phones.

Apple acknowledged the problem, stating it could occur "in very rare cases when an LED light display is extremely bright." The company said a fix was in the works. The iOS 26.0.1 release may include this fix. Other resolved issues include problems downloading Apple Intelligence models, and search within the Calendar app on the iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air.

The update also fixes a bug causing iPhones to disconnect from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. According to Apple's release notes, iOS 26.0.1 resolves these problems:

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disconnections on iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Pro models

Inability to connect to cellular networks after updating to iOS 26 for some iPhone users

Artifacts appearing in photos taken in certain lighting conditions with iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Pro models

App icons appearing blank after adding a custom tint

VoiceOver becoming disabled for some users after updating to iOS 26
