iPhone Duo, which Apple sells from $1,999 and opened for pre-order on October 16, 2026, uses only eSIM. Apple’s spec page says the phone “is activated with an eSIM and does not support a physical SIM,” so anyone switching from an Android phone has to bring their number across as an eSIM. Apple’s support document […]
iPhone Handoff lets you use one phone number between two devices, so you can switch between them whenever you want. It makes it easy to move back and forth between devices optimized for the moment — like weekday business or weekend adventures.
[…]
After iPhone Handoff is set up, one iPhone becomes the main iPhone and the other iPhone becomes the secondary iPhone that shares the number. Your main iPhone should be the one you use most often. Some carrier services, like Call Forwarding and Caller ID, and carrier account management can only be managed on your main iPhone. Contact your carrier for more details.
To move between your main iPhone and secondary iPhone, simply unlock the device that you want to start using — your phone number will automatically become active on that device.

iPhone Handoff works with Dual SIM as long as both eSIMs are from carriers that support iPhone Handoff. Once set up, both eSIMs switch together simultaneously when you unlock your iPhone.
They say you need to have Messages in iCloud enabled.
In addition to needing two iPhones running iOS 27, “iPhone Handoff” will seemingly require carrier support. The forum post mentions that T-Mobile in the U.S. and Deutsche Telekom in Germany might be among the first carriers to offer the feature.
This seems like a ridiculous thing to charge for. It’s not adding a separate device to your plan, like adding a cellular iPad or even an Apple Watch. It’s just switching your active eSIM between two iPhones. You can do this for free, now, on any carrier via Settings → Cellular — but it takes a bunch of taps, confirmation on both iPhones, and a few minutes for the carrier to register the eSIM transfer. iPhone Handoff just eliminates all the annoying friction and waiting.
With Dual SIM on iOS 27, the setting that picks which number a Messages conversation uses is called Conversation Line, and it sits in that conversation’s details. Open the conversation, tap the contact or group icon at the top, tap Conversation Line, then tap a line or alias. Apple’s iOS 26 guide gave a different […]

Anunciados oficialmente hoje, os iPhones 18 Pro e 18 Pro Max tiveram os detalhes sobre as capacidades das baterias revelados pela Apple nas etiquetas de eficiência energética nas páginas de seus produtos na União Europeia.
O iPhone 18 Pro Max apresentou um aumento na capacidade da bateria muito mais expressivo do que o iPhone 18 Pro, em comparação com a geração anterior. Eis as capacidades dos modelos que ainda possuem bandeja para cartão SIM, segundo a Apple:
Ainda de acordo com a Apple, o iPhone 18 Pro com bandeja para chip físico possui uma autonomia de até 34 horas para reprodução de vídeo, enquanto o iPhone 18 Pro Max pode chegar a até 43 horas. No uso típico, o primeiro atinge até 23 horas, enquanto o segundo pode durar até 29 horas.

As capacidades de bateria dos iPhones 18 Pro exclusivamente com eSIM ainda não foram confirmadas — mas, também conforme a Apple, essa versão do iPhone 18 Pro possui uma autonomia de até 36 horas para reprodução de vídeo e de até 45 horas no iPhone 18 Pro Max. No uso típico, eles possuem autonomias de até 24 horas e 30 horas, respectivamente.
Nos baseando nos números vazados pelo órgão chinês, muito provavelmente as capacidades dos modelos somente com eSIM serão estas:
Modelo
iPhone 17 Pro
iPhone 18 Pro
Diferença em mAh
Pro (eSIM)
4.252mAh
4.288mAh
+36 (+0,8%)
Pro Max (eSIM)
5.088mAh
5.567mAh
+479 (+9,4%)
Vale notar que a disponibilidade dos modelos somente com eSIM não sofreu alterações, de modo que eles estão disponíveis nas seguintes regiões: Arábia Saudita, Bahrein, Canadá, Catar, Emirados Árabes Unidos, Estados Unidos, Guam, Ilhas Virgens Americanas, Japão, Kuwait, México e Omã. Em todos os outros países (incluindo Brasil e Portugal, é claro), os aparelhos contam com a bandeja para cartão Nano-SIM físico.

Apple is preparing a practical multi-device feature for iOS 27 that lets users keep a single phone number while moving between two iPhones. The capability, called iPhone Handoff, was first spotted in detail by MacRumors after appearing only as a brief line on a WWDC 2026 feature slide.
The idea is straightforward. One iPhone is set as the main device and keeps the user’s primary eSIM. The second phone is designated a companion and receives a companion eSIM tied to the same number and carrier account. The number then follows whichever iPhone is unlocked and in active use, rather than ringing on both devices at once. A Dynamic Island notification can appear when the number transfers. Cellular settings stay on the main iPhone, while location sharing updates to the device currently using the number.
Setup lives in Settings under Cellular. Both phones need iOS 27, and the feature depends on carrier support. Early reports point to T-Mobile in the United States and Deutsche Telekom in Germany as possible first partners, though availability will vary by network. The approach builds on how an iPhone already shares a number with a cellular Apple Watch, using eSIM provisioning instead of cloning a line or swapping physical SIMs.
MacDailyNews Take: The use case is niche, but useful for people who keep a smaller iPhone and a larger one, a personal device and a work device, or a future foldable alongside a standard iPhone. iOS 27 is expected later this month, so more official details and carrier confirmations should arrive soon.
