Hi Rahul, This is because it isn't actually a block device, it's more like a network file system than a block based file system. iOS devices are accessed via the USB cable in a network style mechanism. I'm not overly familiar with the details but the usbmuxd tool comes to mind: http://marcansoft.com/blog/iphonelinux/usbmuxd/
Effectively you are never given direct access to the underlying block device but are accessing it like a networked device except instead of your media being something like an ethernet cable or a wifi link, you're using USB. As such your tool for directly accessing the underlying block device is not going to work as there is no block device.
