macrumors.com • • general
Key Points:
- Apple has introduced a new "iPhone Handoff" feature in iOS 27, enabling users to switch between two iPhones using the same phone number on both devices.
- The feature allows users to designate a main iPhone and a companion iPhone, with the main device holding the primary eSIM and the companion device using a companion eSIM.
- Cellular settings are controlled on the main iPhone, and location sharing depends on which iPhone is actively using the phone number.
- "iPhone Handoff" requires both devices to run iOS 27 and needs carrier support, with T-Mobile (U.S.) and Deutsche Telekom (Germany) likely among the first to support it.
- iOS 27 is currently in beta testing and is expected to be released later this month, with more details about the feature anticipated soon.
