I thought I was the only one. 26.0.1 made it very buggy when it comes to FaceID on my 13 mini. Until then it worked great

On my partner's iPhone Air, the CarPlay issues have been causing a significant amount of stress, to the point where I was asked to see if I could return the phone. Apart from that, the device is excellent. No overheating, none whatsoever.
However, on my iPhone 16 PM, I have yet to see any such issues despite being on the same OS as the iPhone Air.
I'm giving this OS update a chance to help the cause; otherwise, I will be forced to return the device.

After three hours of the progress bar stuck at 99%, I called Apple support...on my 15 pro has been quite similar, but after 25 minutes goes on and restart upgrading system
Kind person said to force reset then redo the installation. That worked on both my iPhone 17 Pro Max as well as my iPad Pro 13 inch which was also stuck at 99%.
My iPad Pro 11 inch zoomed through the upgrade with no trouble on first try.
Fyi @zakarhino
Fortunately Apple is still spinning 18.x for phones that are capable of running 26.x.
I bought a 16Pro so as to not be forced onto 26.x.
It never ceases to amaze me that Apple has never been able to release ANYTHING that doesn't need updates to fix problems days/weeks after launch.
Apple today released iOS 26.0.1 and iPadOS 26.0.1, the first updates to the iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 operating systems that came out earlier this week.
The new software can be downloaded on eligible iPhones and iPads over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
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. Apple's release notes are below.
The iPadOS 26.0.1 update fixes the same VoiceOver issue and also addresses a bug that could cause the floating keyboard to change positions unexpectedly.
For those who are unable to update to iOS 26.0.1, Apple has released a iOS 18.7.1 update.

Unfortunately, I am still consistently getting disconnected from CarPlay on 26.0.1 with my 17 Pro Max.
I had no issues either with my 17 PM and the installed 26.0. But i updated in case (there were a couple suspicious issues with a known weak WiFi at our church) so i installed 26.0.1 the one suspicious WiFi often cuts out and my phone defaults to cell but its not issue for my needs there. Before 26.0.1 I did also have one odd occurrence with my Mazda Cx-5 and a phone call that connected but the volume or voice was week even when I turned car volume up I just switched to (it gave me option) to audio on phone and all was fine. So that’s not a disconnection just weird occurrence with the phone call connection through the car I had never experienced.

Yup same bug for me. Face ID was HORRID on 26 but new
Update fixed it. Now it responds/behaves like it always has, snappy and hyper responsive.
This update fixed my iPhone 15 Pro which has been insanely laggy since installing the iOS 26.0 RC, 20 days ago.
Notably, my Messages never fully indexed and search was broken since I installed the RC. I installed 26.0.1 yesterday, and the lag was immediately gone. By today, my Messages were fully searchable again.
