iOS 26.0.1 and iPadOS 26.0.1

Juli Clover (no release notes, security, no enterprise, no developer):

According to Apple’s release notes for the update, iOS 26.0.1 addresses a bug that could cause aberrations in photos captured with the iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro models. It also fixes ongoing cellular and Wi-Fi issues that iPhone 17 owners have been dealing with, and addresses a bug with tinted icons.

macOS 26.0.1

Juli Clover (no release notes, no security, no enterprise, no developer, full installer, IPSW):

According to Apple’s release notes, macOS Tahoe 26.0.1 addresses a bug that was preventing Mac Studio machines with an M3 Ultra chip from being upgraded to macOS Tahoe. A failed hardware check was causing macOS Tahoe installation attempts to be aborted, with Mac Studio users ultimately stuck on macOS Sequoia.

Update (2025-09-30): Laurent Giroud:

This is just incredible. That this bug had to be fixed in a new release means they never tested it on that Ultra configuration.

That or they knew it prevented installation and chose to kept users of that setup to bang their heads against the wall when trying to upgrade.

Ricky Mondello:

Today’s update to macOS Tahoe (26.0.1) resolves an issue in apps where AutoFill for Mac apps could make apps slow down over time due to improper handling of event taps, causing them to accumulate over time. People particularly noticed this in Chromium-based web browsers and Electron apps. If your app or framework decided to work around this issue by using an internal AppKit defaults key to turn off AutoFill, I recommend you re-test on macOS 26.0.1, then limit that workaround only to macOS 26.0.0, and remove it for macOS 26.0.1 and above.

Note that watchOS is 26.0.2 because there was a watchOS 26.0.1 update designed to add Messages and Find My support to the Apple Watch Ultra 3 in Mexico.

According to Apple’s release notes, the software provides bug fixes and important security updates.

Only the visionOS update has documented security content.

Patreon Autopilot

Patreon:

Autopilot is an easy and automatic way to give your fans promotional offerings to drive your growth on Patreon.

[…]

Autopilot is now automatically enabled for all creators. To change this setting, check the Autopilot section in the Promotions tab.

They’d previously sent an e-mail saying it would be activated on October 1, but I found that my Patreon already had it switched on. I turned it off.

Via Nick Heer:

As an extremely casual user, I do not love this; I think it is basically spam. I am sympathetic toward those who make their living with Patreon. I turned this off. If you have a Patreon creator page and missed this email, now you know.

And if you are a subscriber to anyone on Patreon and begin receiving begging emails next week, please be gracious. They might not be aware this feature was switched on.
