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?
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

This forum thread 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

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