I want to change it too.😢
Hi there,
It is a bit rediculous that Phone's name is actually a name of the SSID 🙂 I have the same SSID at home, at work and for all of my mobile devices. The passwords are the same so all my friends can use them without adding a one more entry into the list of hotspots. Do I need to change my SSID for all devices to ****'s iPhone or should I take stupid phone's name instead? It is a rhetorical question.
For me it is just a marketing so everyone see "***'s iPhone" SSID when is searching for the Wi-Fi hotspot. Many of customers even not recognized that their names ***** have been silvently turned into "****'s iPhone" 🙂
Hope that Apple will resolve this later in the next FW releases.

Thanks, I was wondering also why Apple would miss such an obvious change-SSID feature!
That makes sense! (this is regrettable, though...)
