You probably had 3 other phones in the past that defaulted to sequential numbers as you signed in on them. Give them unique identifiers.


To change the name of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, follow these steps:


On your device, go to:

1. Settings > General > About > Name

2. Tap the Clear Text button (X), enter a new name, then tap Done
