Summary
AT&T said it does not plan to support iPhone Handoff, leaving its U.S. customers without the new iOS 27 feature that lets one number work across two iPhones.
The carrier said its focus is on simpler connectivity tools and pointed to existing eSIM activation and transfer options instead of adding Handoff support.
T-Mobile has already adopted the feature at $5 a month, while Verizon said it will roll it out to customers by the end of 2026.
That makes AT&T the only major U.S. holdout on a feature Apple introduced with iOS 27 to streamline switching between compatible iPhones.
