Apple creates feature to use the same number on two iPhones

extra10 September 2026 at 11:33

Apple is transforming one of the most annoying tasks for those who use two iPhones into a simpler operation. With iOS 27, the new version of the operating system presented by the company, the user will be able to use the same phone number on two iPhones and switch between devices.

The feature, called iPhone Handoff, allows setting one iPhone as the primary device and another as the secondary device. In practice, the phone number follows the device the user chooses to use at that moment. Apple describes the novelty as a way to use a single number on two devices, allowing the switch between them without the need to redo the entire line transfer process.

The novelty gains importance precisely at the moment when Apple is expanding its iPhone family and now offers different device formats. A user could, for example, keep a conventional iPhone as one of the devices.

Apple's new devices arrive in Brazil on the same date as the United States for the first time

For the first time, Apple will launch the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in Brazil on the same day as the United States. Pre-orders begin this Friday (11th) at 9am, and the devices arrive in stores on October 18th. Brazil is among the more than 65 countries in the first wave of launch. The iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable phone, will have pre-orders starting October 16th and will be available on October 23rd, following the same American schedule. The change represents a break from the company's history, which never included Brazil among the first markets to receive new iPhones.

Months after launch, Anthropic makes Mythos available to the European Union

Anthropic has made its Mythos AI model, specialised in cybersecurity, available to the EU Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), months after its launch in April, following months of negotiations with Brussels. Access was made possible after the European Commission pressured the company. Around 40 entities are participating in the Glasswing Project, including Apple, Google, Microsoft and Nvidia. However, the United Kingdom was left out, with the AI Security Institute (AISI) not receiving access to test the model before its launch, which has raised concerns in the British government, which fears that US technology companies are adopting an increasingly restrictive stance towards foreign institutions.

Professional Fact-Checking on Social Media Is in Crisis in Latin America

Experts warn that Meta's decision to replace professional fact-checking with the Community Notes system on its social media platform in Latin America may harm the quality of public debate in a region that has been leaning towards the far right. The new system, inspired by the X (formerly Twitter) model, was rejected by Brazil due to government regulations. Alejandro Martín del Campo, from the Media Observatory of the Tecnológico de Monterrey, warned that, given Meta's dominance in social media consumption in the region, the absence of professional verification may accelerate the spread of misinformation. According to data from LatamChequea, 14 agencies in Latin America participate in Meta's verification program.
