Key Points:
- Apple officially launched iOS 27 on September 14, introducing several new features including iPhone Handoff, which allows users to share one phone number between two compatible devices.
- T-Mobile is currently the only U.S. carrier supporting iPhone Handoff, but it charges customers a $5 monthly fee to use this feature.
- iPhone Handoff permits the use of one number on only one device at a time, with similar restrictions applying to IDs, corporate badges, and some transit passes; however, Apple Wallet payment cards and car keys can be used across both devices.
- The most anticipated aspect of iOS 27 is the enhancement of Apple Intelligence and Siri, offering more natural AI interactions, improved app functionalities, and more expressive Siri voices.
- Additional intelligence features include Audio Intelligence on Apple Watch to help recall conversations and new Health app capabilities related to aging, expected to be available later in the year.
