iPhone Handoff will let two phones share one number in iOS 27, The Verge reports

iPhone Handoff in iOS 27 is expected to let a companion iPhone use the same number as the main device; carrier support details are still limited.

The setup links two iPhones by designating one as the main device and the other as a companion, allowing a user to switch between them while keeping the same number. The feature was briefly mentioned during Apple’s WWDC keynote in June, but no details were available at the time. The Verge reported that launching Handoff before the expected arrival of the foldable iPhone Ultra makes sense, because users may not always want to carry a large, expensive device and could instead temporarily move service to a cheaper or older iPhone.

The feature will need carrier support. The Verge found code references to T-Mobile US and Telekom.de, but the report said support beyond those carriers is unknown.

Editor’s Summary: Apple’s iPhone Handoff in iOS 27 is shown linking a main iPhone and a companion iPhone so both share one number. The timing suggests the feature is aimed at people who might not want to bring the rumored foldable iPhone Ultra everywhere. Carrier support may be limited initially to T-Mobile US and Telekom.de.
