In the past, this could have been a bit complicated. But Apple could possibly be debuting a solution very soon, a feature called iPhone Handoff.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The feature was first mentioned during Apple&#8217;s presentation during the\u00a0Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC)\u00a0in June 2026, stating it would be one of the many features arriving in the upcoming iOS 27 update \u2014 but not a lot of information was given at the time. An iPhone user then claimed to have it on their device, sharing a demonstration of the upcoming feature on <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.macrumors.com\/threads\/heres-how-iphone-handoff-will-let-you-switch-between-two-iphone-devices-with-the-same-phone-number.2488350\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MacRumors<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>iPhone Handoff will allow users to share an eSim between unlocked and active iPhones, making it a lot easier to switch between devices. Both phones would have the same phone number and phone plan, essentially letting you seamlessly swap devices when needed without any disruption. You&#8217;ll need to enable the feature in the &#8220;Settings&#8221;\u00a0menu, under &#8220;Cellular.&#8221;\u00a0The two devices apparently need to be close to each other for the initial setup, but it&#8217;s not yet clear if you still need to keep them in proximity afterward.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                When does iPhone iOS 27 update come out?<\/p>\n<p>                                             &#13;<br \/>\n                                                    &#13;<br \/>\n                            &#13;<br \/>\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/when-does-iphone-ios-27-update-come-out-1788713718.jpg\" data-slide-url=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/2251845\/ios-27-iphone-handoff-feature\/\" data-post-id=\"2251845\" data-slide-num=\"1\" data-slide-title=\"New iOS 27 Feature Makes Owning Two iPhones Easier Than Ever: When does iPhone iOS 27 update come out?\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" alt=\"young woman talking to siri on iphone\"\/>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                    Bymuratdeniz\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>When Apple discussed the iOS 27 update during WWDC, we were only told that it was coming in fall 2026. Fall officially begins on September 22, but it&#8217;s sorta doubtful they are following a Farmer&#8217;s Almanac for its release. It&#8217;s widely believed that iOS 27 will drop on September 14th, a week after its iPhone 18 launch event. This hasn&#8217;t been confirmed by Apple.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are a handfulof <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/2190027\/when-does-ios-27-come-out-new-features-included-in-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">notable changes coming to iOS 27<\/a>, most of which are focused on making your phone operate faster and smoother. The iPhone Handoff feature is a definite highlight as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/2219427\/apple-carplay-ios-27-video-streaming-changes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Video In Car for CarPlay<\/a>. Perhaps the biggest change, however, is\u00a0an AI update to its assistant, Siri. As demonstrated during WWDC, the new Siri should allow for more complex queries, including full conversations and in-depth planning. There will also be a Siri app, keeping track of conversations and task management. The app is accessible through iPhones as well as iPads and Macs.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n    &#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Maruco\/Getty Images With so many new Apple iPhone&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":677612,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[257],"tags":[18,19,17,279,82],"class_list":["post-677611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-eire","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117232377571379380","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=677611"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677611\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/677612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=677611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=677611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=677611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
