iOS 27 introduces a redesigned iPhone Handoff feature, and 9to5Mac got hands-on with a live demo. The feature lets users transfer active tasks between Apple devices in real time, going beyond the clipboard-passing behavior of previous Handoff implementations.

The demo is worth watching for the specifics: how the transfer is initiated, which app states actually survive the handoff, and where the feature breaks down. Those edge cases tell you more about the architecture than any press release will.

If you use multiple Apple devices daily, this is the iOS 27 feature most likely to change your workflow. The full video walks through the exact steps and failure modes, which the title summary alone will not give you.
