iOS 27 iPhone Handoff Will Initially Support Only T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom

Apple is adding iPhone Handoff to iOS 27, allowing two compatible iPhones to share one number and switch between devices. At launch, the feature will support T-Mobile in the U.S. and Deutsche Telekom in Germany.

Signal Summary

iPhone Handoff requires carrier support. The two iPhones must be connected to Wi-Fi, signed in to the same Apple account, and have FaceTime, iMessage, and Messages in iCloud enabled on both devices. Apple says carrier fees may apply, and T-Mobile has not announced pricing.

Why It Matters

The launch scope makes carrier support the main limitation for iPhone Handoff: meeting the device and account requirements will not be enough unless the user’s carrier supports the feature. Users may also need to account for carrier fees, which remain unspecified for T-Mobile.
