The camera bug issue comes on the heels of battery drainage problems affecting users who downloaded Apple’s latest iOS 26 update. Apple has mentioned that it is “normal” and temporary.

​“Immediately after completing an update, particularly a major release, you might notice a temporary impact on battery life and thermal performance. This is normal, as your device needs time to complete the setup process in the background, including indexing data and files for search, downloading new assets, and updating apps,” Apple said.

Users of iOS 26 have also expressed legibility concerns arising from the Liquid Glass design language. Additionally, some users have reported that Liquid Glass causes the app icons on iOS 26 to seem tilted, leading to distortion and motion sickness.

The iPhone 17 series will come with iOS 26 out-of-the-box.
