Next year’s Motorola Signature could be the most important Android phone of 2027
Motorola, we need this.
Apple's new Handoff feature allows two iPhones to share the same phone number, but it comes at a cost. The only US carrier currently offering this service is T-Mobile, which will charge an extra $5 per month. This additional fee is due to the fact that both phones must support certain crucial features such as calling, texting, data usage, and even satellite connectivity.
The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro, unveiled last week, doesn't offer any major upgrades other than its new processor. The camera improvements, highlighted by Apple, are not groundbreaking as they have been around in Android devices for quite some time. Despite these limitations, the iPhone 18 Pro's standout feature is its ability to utilize another iPhone with the same phone number, similar to how an Apple Watch connects to a paired iPhone.
This functionality is called "Handoff," and it depends on carrier support. Currently, T-Mobile is the sole US carrier that supports Handoff, while Verizon is expected to add this feature in the near future.
