Some iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max users are reporting that their phones freeze and reboot when a Face ID scan fails while unlocking app-level protections like Passwords or private Safari tabs. 9to5Mac says it reproduced the issue on a European unit, though the bug doesn't appear to affect every device or trigger from the standard lock screen.
Apple has issued the first developer beta of macOS 27.2, build 26B5086k, just days after launching macOS 27 Golden Gate, bypassing the 27.1 beta stage entirely. The update is expected to expand Siri's AI features into French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, following Apple's earlier announcement at its 'Surprise and Shine' event.
Apple has issued iPadOS 27.2 developer beta 1 just days after iPadOS 27's public launch, bypassing a 27.1 release entirely for testers. The move is unusual since iOS 27.1 is expected to focus on the upcoming iPhone Duo, suggesting Apple may be reserving that numbered update for iPhone-specific changes while iPad gets a separate track.
Apple confirmed that iOS 27, launching September 14, will ship without two previously demoed features: Messages suggestions that add items to Reminders, Notes, or Calendar, and an automatic password-fixing tool in the Passwords app. Apple updated its website this week to note both will arrive in a 'future software update' rather than at launch, with the change also affecting iPadOS 27 and macOS 27.
