A private X account with a proven track record about iOS updates says Apple is readying an iOS 26.0.1 update. The update will likely fix the camera issue that has been discovered on the new iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro handsets.
The update will carry a build number of 23A350, or similar, the account said.
Earlier this week, we reported about the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro camera bug that makes white squiggles and black boxes appear in photos. The issue was first reported by CNN Underscored‘s Henry Casey, who discovered the issue in an iPhone Air review while taking photos at a concert.
Casey said that one of every 10 images taken with the iPhone Air or the iPhone 17 Pro had “small blacked-out portions, including boxes and parts of white squiggles” that showed up from the LED board at the event.
Apple told Casey that the issue can rear its ugly head in”very rare cases when an LED light display is extremely bright and shining directly into the camera.” Apple has developed a fix, and plans to release it in an upcoming software update.
It is unclear if iOS 26.0.1 will include any other bug fixes or enhancements.
While a date for the update’s release has not yet been set, the new iPhones hit customers hands tomorrow, so Apple is likely scurrying to ready the update with the fix.
