The upcoming iOS 27 update is set to introduce a new feature called iPhone Handoff, allowing users to seamlessly share a single phone number across two separate devices. Recent developer insights revealed a setup process that designates one iPhone as the primary device and the second as a companion.
This addition aligns with industry expectations surrounding the potential launch of a foldable iPhone Ultra. It offers a practical solution for users who might want to temporarily switch from a bulky, premium device to a smaller or older secondary phone when heading out.
Despite its utility, the feature’s success hinges on carrier compatibility, with early code references limited to select international telecommunications networks. The official rollout is anticipated alongside the broader iOS 27 release later this month.
