Apple officially skipped the name "iPhone 9". In these tools, "iPhone9,3" refers to the iPhone 7. If you were looking for an "iPhone 9" specifically, you are likely dealing with an iPhone SE (2nd Generation), which was the spiritual successor to the iPhone 8. The screen of the prototype flickered, casting a
On Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch), the usbmuxd service sometimes fails to map the iPhone 8’s vendor ID (05ac) and product ID (12a8 for DFU mode). Without proper USB mapping, the loader tool cannot query the device for its d101ap identifier, leading to a "Not Found" error for the loader.
The 3- prefix may also indicate a NAND chip from a different supplier (Toshiba vs. Hynix). Loaders contain low-level NAND initialization routines. If the loader expects a Toshiba chip but the device has a Hynix chip, the loader will hang, and the host tool will eventually timeout and report "Not Found."
