I have attached photos of my Ookla Speed Test App and my Eufy Security Camera App think my iPhone 16 Pro Max is called, I even went to General->About->Name and changed that to a custom name but that didn't help. Is this some sort of glitch? Is anyone else experiencing this? Cause my last phone is detected by these same apps as the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 16 Pro Max giving out weird name...
- Thread starter oman0231

iPhone 17,2 is the internal name (or identifier) of the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Just like 17,1 is for the Pro, 17,3 is the standard 16 and 17,4 is the 16 Plus.
The 15 Pro Max was iPhone 16,2 accordingly.
The Ookla App has not been updated to "translate" the "iPhone 17,2"-identifier to the common name "iPhone 16 Pro Max" yet. Wait for the app to be updated and you will see the common name.
Besides, no need to worry
You can check all the iPhones "internal" names for example here: look at the firmware filenames.
