Which device details should stay private?

I am making a tutorial on how to view your device details, however, I am uncertain which numbers I should blur to keep private, and which are OK to be shared externally. Rather than listing all of the values, perhaps someone already know precisely. The main priority is ensuring no malicious activity can be committed via the data I share publicly, for example, it is OK to share the phone is an iPhone 14 Pro Max, but not it's precise serial number or IP address.


Which of my iOS device details should stay private? (I.e. Serial Number, Apple ID, ...etc.)

iPhone 14 Pro Max

Please avoid everything that is not needed for the tutorial including any personal credentials such as IP addresses, card details, email IDs, Apple IDs, IMEI numbers, serial numbers, phone numbers, order IDs, or any identifiable location information if you are sharing a map.


If I am sharing the "About" screen I would do this.
