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?
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

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).
