Why is every iphone named iphone?

I don't care what my android phone is called either.
 
Ever tried to look through a network log and see that all iphones are by default named iphone. Not many people actually name their iphone.

Come now boois...
Infact I'd go with fantasy name generation and pick some eldritch. e. g. Satan's dark delight.

Appears Reuben was the only one with any sense....
Why wouldn't you want a generic & anonymous name on a network?

Why name it? Make it easier to identify and try and attack the phone.
