iOS’s New Handoff Feature Will Cost $10 on Verizon
PCMag • • technology
Key Points:
- iOS 27’s new iPhone Handoff feature allows users to use the same phone number on two iPhones, marking a first for Apple's software.
- Verizon will charge $10 per month for the feature, which is double the $5 per month fee set by T-Mobile in the US.
- UK carrier EE plans to charge £5 ($6.70) monthly or include it for free in its £47 ($63) Full Works Plus plan, while Germany’s Deutsche Telekom offers it for €6.95 ($7.90) monthly or free with certain higher-tier plans.
- The feature requires an iPhone 11 or later, or iPhone SE (2nd Gen) or later, and the phone number can only be active on one device at a time, automatically switching based on the unlocked device.
- Some devices, like Apple Watch, remain linked to only one iPhone and do not support number switching with Handoff.
