Can I change the name iTunes gives to my iPhone?

2014-10-06 Thread Paul Hopewell
Hello, 
Is it possible to change the iPhone name which iTunes allocates when you first 
set up an iPhone? I ask as I have an iPhone 3GS and an iPhone 5S which have 
confusingly similar names. I would like to change the name allocated to one of 
them. 

Note that when I first connected the iPhone 5S to my iMac I asked it to restore 
the backup of my iPhone 3GS. Maybe that is why they have similar names! 

When I get a decent case for the 5S I will use that by default but will keep 
the 3GS as a backup phone. 

Many thanks.

It's easier to do it under settings general about.
