AMD computers
Intel and Apple Silicon computers are recommended to use.
If you are using a computer with an AMD Ryzen CPU, you will likely run into issues. If you do run into issues, you should use a computer with an Intel CPU or Apple Silicon.
Lightning Cables
USB-A cables are recommended to use, USB-C to may have issues with palera1n and getting into DFU mode.
Due to USB-C cables having different accessory IDs, your device may not be able to be recognized when using USB-C due to not being able to assert to its USB voltage pin.
USB-C port on Apple Silicon Macs may require manual unplugging and replugging of the lightning cable after checkm8 exploit. This problem may be solved by connecting via USB hub, though extensions can vary.
