A bug in iOS 27 can cause iPhones to temporarily freeze after updating. Apple has confirmed the issue, and affected users can resolve it with a simple workaround.

Users reporting frozen iPhones following the iOS 27 update should not attempt a force restart immediately. The freezing typically lasts between 30 seconds to two minutes and resolves on its own. If your device freezes, wait for the system to respond before taking action. Force restarting during a freeze may cause additional issues. For persistent freezing problems, try these steps: - Ensure your iPhone has sufficient storage space - Close background apps before the freeze occurs - Update to the latest iOS 27 patch when available - Restore your device using Finder or Apple Configurator if freezing continues Apple's engineering team is investigating the root cause. A fix is expected in the next iOS update. Users experiencing frequent freezes should contact Apple Support for additional assistance.
