Apple iOS 27 Enables Single Phone Number Use Across Two iPhones
Apple's upcoming iOS 27 introduces the iPhone Handoff feature, allowing users to share a single phone number across two iPhones without swapping SIM cards or forwarding calls. Setup involves designating a main and companion device, with the primary eSIM tied to the main iPhone and a linked companion eSIM for the second. Cellular settings remain centralized, and location sharing follows the active device. The feature requires both devices to run iOS 27 and depends on carrier support, with T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom among potential early adopters.
