using the cli to discover an iphone

is there  a way for me to run a command using arch to discover a phones ssd. i tried both lsblk and fdisk -l with the default user mask of 022. and i cannot see my phone that i want to zero out and reflash.

its iphone 13 with the latest ios and appears to be stuck in a state of confusion of some sort. with sensitive data i dont want someone to steal my credit.

Update: i tried umask 000 in recovery mode also . i can't see it!

Re: using the cli to discover an iphone

You're not going to get access to an iphones internal ssd from an Arch system, "maybe" if it was jailbroken. But if your concern is "muh credit" just do a standard factory reset, it will break the encryption key used so far which will make all data on it irrecoverable.

Pretty sure libimobiledevice won't cut the mustard. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/IOS
As it won't let you access root stuff in the phone, but this is how you can access files in iOS from Linux.
