When it comes to customization iOS devices have a long way to go. However there’s one important thing that you can change about your device and that is its name tag. You can actually change what your iPhone or iPad is called and how it shows up on iTunes or on your iCloud account. While you can use iTunes to change device’s name by double clicking on its name, you can also do the same from Settings.
Changing the name of an iOS device can be useful too, as it allows you to distinguish between iPhones when you want to remove one from the iCloud account. Follow these steps to change the name of your device.
