The new iPhone Handoff feature lets you use a secondary iPhone simultaneously with your T-Mobile number but comes with an extra monthly fee, according to a T-Mobile press release. The feature will work with any iPhone on iOS 27.
Apple’s website now shows the release date for the next major macOS update, which includes features like Siri AI, Liquid Glass refinements, and fixed window corners.
iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27 will launch on September 14th, too.
You’ll now have to be more careful when choosing a battery for your iPhone. BMX’s new SolidSafe Duo is one of the first that’s sized to fit Apple’s wider iPhone Duo.

The iOS 27 Release Candidate became available yesterday and includes new code that seems to indicate you’ll soon be able to redeem physical Apple gift cards by tapping them on the back of your iPhone, according to MacRumors.

Apps that aren’t updated for iOS 27 SDK might look a little wonky, though.
