What’s New in iOS 26?
Apple kicked off the global rollout of iOS 26 on September 15, 2025, marking its biggest software update in recent years. The update brings a fresh “Liquid Glass” design to the iPhone’s interface, revamps UI elements and screen transitions, and integrates advanced AI features like enhanced Siri powered by ChatGPT and live message translation. iOS 26 also boosts privacy features, introduces new Wallet capabilities like online ID verification, and enhances FaceTime with live captions.
The Camera Glitch Issue
Despite the exciting new features, early users and reviewers have flagged a camera glitch impacting the new iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro models. Photos taken under bright LED light displays sometimes show “small blacked-out portions” or “white squiggles,” particularly noticeable in concert and event shots. CNN Underscored’s Henry T. Casey highlighted this flaw in his reviews, noting its impact on photo quality.
Apple explained this issue as a rare occurrence when an extremely bright LED source shines directly into the camera lens, causing these visual artifacts. The company confirmed it has identified a fix to address the problem.
iOS 26.0.1: The Urgent Fix on the Way
According to credible insider sources on social media platform X, Apple is preparing to release iOS 26.0.1, likely bearing the build number 23A350 or similar. This update is expected to arrive shortly and is primarily aimed at resolving the camera-related bugs on the latest iPhone models. With the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro officially launching tomorrow, Apple appears to be prioritizing this patch to ensure users can fully enjoy their devices without photo glitches.
While other bug fixes or feature tweaks remain unconfirmed, iOS 26.0.1 is anticipated to roll out widely in the coming days, once the new iPhones are in customers’ hands.
How to Prepare for the Update
Once released, iPhone users can update to iOS 26.0.1 by:
- Going to Settings
- Selecting General
- Tapping on Software Update
- Downloading and installing the update if available
It’s recommended to backup data and ensure sufficient storage space before proceeding with the update.
Parting Thoughts
