AT&T seemingly has no plans to support Apple’s new iPhone Handoff feature
Key Points:
- Apple recently introduced a new iPhone Handoff feature that allows users to share a single phone number seamlessly across two iPhones, with the number switching automatically based on which device is in use.
- AT&T has indicated it currently has no plans to support iPhone Handoff, focusing instead on existing eSIM activation and transfer options, which are less seamless than the new feature.
- T-Mobile is presently the only U.S. carrier supporting iPhone Handoff, charging $5 per month for the service, while Verizon and other carriers like Telekom Germany and EE plan to add support by the end of the year.
- Users testing iPhone Handoff report a highly smooth experience, with numbers instantly switching between devices, highlighting the feature’s convenience compared to manual eSIM transfers.
