2. Select your iPhone/iPod/iPad under Devices menu, and open its Summary Tab.

3. You will see an entry named ‘Serial Number’ there, click on it.

4. Upon clicking, the word serial number will change to ‘Identifier (UDID)’.

Anyway to change that UDID code just invade I want to sell my iPhone 4 in the near future?

I would like to think someone somewhere is working on a UDID code generator on PC or MAC to change it for when you want to sell or have bought a second hand iPhone?

To read the UDID in Linux just use [lsusb -v] – prints lots of text, but it’s easy to find.
