Verizon announced it will charge $10 per month for a feature called iPhone Handoff, allowing customers to use a single phone number seamlessly across two compatible iPhone models. This feature enables users to switch the active status between devices, such as the new iPhone Duo and the newer iPhone 18 Pro, whenever they want. The service will be available on compatible iPhones running iOS 27.

While Verizon is known for being one of the pricier carriers in the U.S., the $10/month charge for this feature seems particularly steep, especially when compared to T-Mobile's $5/month price for a similar service.
