iOS 27 iPhone Handoff Feature Limited to Two Carriers at Launch
· Technology · MacRumors, Mezha
Apple's new iPhone Handoff feature, which allows users to share a single phone number across two iPhones, will be restricted to T-Mobile in the US and Deutsche Telekom in Germany at launch. The feature requires both devices to run iOS 27 and be signed into the same Apple account with specific iCloud services enabled. While payment cards and car keys generally sync across devices, Apple noted that certain items like transit passes and IDs may be limited to one phone. The feature remains active until the user contacts their carrier to disable it. iOS 27 is scheduled for release on Monday, September 14.
Why it matters
Users looking to use the same phone number on two devices will face limited carrier availability at launch, potentially impacting adoption for those not on T-Mobile or Deutsche Telekom.
