I am seeking help with code to enter in MacOS Terminal application to delete Serial Number of iPhone pictures. Thank you.

exiftool -SerialNumber= -overwrite_original ~/Pictures/New/*

In what way is that command not working?

This forum thread (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=7609.0) and images from my iPhone 12 mini would suggest that iPhone images do not contain any sort of camera serial number.

What happens if you try something like

Code Select

exiftool ~/pictures/new/iPhoneImageName.jpg | grep -i serial
(Where iPhoneImageName is the name of an imagine in that directory).
