iOS 27 Bug Causes Temporary iPhone Freeze; Force Restart Fix Available
Following the global rollout of iOS 27, some iPhone users report a bug triggered by quickly swiping from the Notification Center to the Control Center. This causes parts of the screen to freeze, making touch inputs and the power-off option unresponsive. The issue is temporary and does not cause permanent damage. Users can resolve the freeze by performing a force restart using the physical buttons: Volume Up, Volume Down, then holding the Side button until the Apple logo appears.
