Apple has just released iOS 18.0.1, the first official update for iOS 18, and it includes a handful of bug fixes that particularly benefit the iPhone 16 lineup. And after yanking iPadOS 18 just a day after it came out in September for bricking some M4 iPad Pros, Apple has released iPadOS 18.0.1, and it’s available for those M4 iPads, MacRumors reports.
According to the patch notes, the update addresses the issue of iPhone 16 and 16 Pro touchscreens becoming temporarily unresponsive. iOS 18.0.1 also includes a fix for the camera freezing under very specific circumstances when recording a macro mode video on the ultrawide camera on the iPhone 16 Pro.
Here are Apple’s full iOS 18.0.1 patch notes, which I just grabbed from the update on my iPhone 12 Mini:
This update provides important bug fixes and security updates for your iPhone including:
Touch screen may be temporarily unresponsive in certain circumstances on iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models
Camera may freeze when recording macro mode video on the Ultra Wide camera in 4K with HDR turned off on iPhone 16 Pro models
Messages may unexpectedly quit when replying to a message with a shared Apple Watch face
Performance may be impacted due to an issue with memory allocation on some iPhone models

Apple is also already beta testing iOS 18.1, which includes the first set of Apple Intelligence features, ahead of an expected release sometime this month.
The company also released watchOS 11.0.1 (patch notes on 9to5Mac), macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 (patch notes on MacRumors), and visionOS 2.0.1 (patch notes on 9to5Mac).
Update, October 3rd: Added that visionOS 2.0.1 is out.
