Q: My iPhone 5 is listed as "iPhone 4S" in both iTunes and iCloud backup.....
I got my new iPhone 5 on Thursday. I just noticed that it shows up in both iTunes and in iCloud backup as "iPhone 4S.
My questions are:
1) Has anyone else noticed this with their iPhone 5?
2) Is there a way to fix this, so that it displays "iPhone 5"?
3) Should I even be worrying about this?
It should be noted that I was previously using an iPhone 4S, so maybe when I restored the 5 from the 4S backup, somehow iTunes and iCloud think the 5 is a 4S??? I didn't have this problem when I upgraded from the 4 to the 4S.
Thanks in advance for any ideas/answers.
iPhone 5, iOS 6

The name of the device - the name you gave the device is included with the iPhone's backup and you transferred the backup for your 4S.
Changing the device name is easy.
