An iPhone has a name, and it's not just the model number that Apple gave it, such as iPhone 13 mini, but rather a name that the owner can change. This is very helpful if there is more than one iPhone in a household, in school, or at work to be identified as different devices.
Apple provides a great incentive to own more than one of its products.

When using AirPods with an iPhone then switching to a Mac, the pairing automatically switches to the other device. AirDrop is a super-fast and straightforward way to wirelessly transfer photos, videos and files from an iPhone to a Mac with a tap. Apple devices work best with other Apple devices.

This is easy to do by opening the Settings app then tapping the General tab at the left. In that section, tap the about 'About' option, and 'Name'should be the first field at the top. Tap that and type in whatever name sounds good.
