Apple Just Made Using Two iPhones with One Number Much Easier
Apple’s new feature keeps a primary eSIM on one iPhone and a companion eSIM on the other, with carrier support still required.
- Apple is introducing an 'iPhone Handoff' feature in iOS 27, allowing users to maintain the same phone number across two iPhones simultaneously without manual switching.
- Users configure the setup through Settings > Cellular, designating one device as primary with the main eSIM while the second receives a companion eSIM, keeping both phones linked to the same number.
- Location sharing updates dynamically to follow whichever iPhone currently uses the number. A demonstration via Xcode 27's Device Hub confirmed how the feature functions between simulated devices.
- Accessing the feature requires two iPhones running iOS 27 and specific carrier support, which is not yet universal. Reports suggest T-Mobile in the US and Deutsche Telekom in Germany could be among the first networks to support it.
- Apple plans to release iOS 27 later this month following roughly three months of beta testing, which should clarify official carrier lists and hardware compatibility requirements.
