What to know

  • iPhone Handoff (iOS 27) enables users to share one phone number across two iPhones without separate carrier accounts, requiring both phones on the same Wi-Fi and Apple Account.
  • Only T-Mobile (US, $5/month) and Telekom (Germany) currently support the feature, though Apple expects more carriers to adopt it.
  • Key limitations include no Apple Watch switching between devices and some wallet items (IDs, passes) not working across both phones.
  • Engadget characterizes it as a 'niche feature' most useful for migrations between old and new iPhones, travel scenarios, or professionals using separate work and personal devices.

“There are some limitations; for example, your carrier must support iPhone Handoff, it does not switch your paired Apple Watch between devices, and some wallet items like IDs and passes won't work.”
