Beginner Tip #1 - How to Rename Your iPhone

Sometimes simple and obvious things are difficult to accomplish. Even such a simple action as renaming your iPhone may not be clear immediately. At least, I have seen a number of people asking this on different forums. Generally, Apple software is one of the best in terms of usability. Most of the aspects are well thought out and designed. Unfortunately, renaming iPhone is an exception.

It turns out that renaming your iPhone is very easy but this functionality is not apparent and visible immediately. Simply, start iTunes and double-click your phone in the DEVICES area. Most people right click the phone and then expect to see the rename command in the shortcut menu. It is a bit disappointing that we don't see a command to rename the phone in the short-cut menu. But again, double clicking does the job.
