Why is there no iPhone 9?

when they released iphone8 and iphoneX then X being roman letters for 10 which was it's number because of the 10 years anniversary for iphones then I suppose they believed it would confuse customers of the iphone model the year after was called iphone9

iPhone 3G and 3GS. But yeah they've skipped around with numbers. Skipping 4 would have been interesting because a lot of Chinese are superstitious about it.

Apple never chose to give a product that designation. Only they know why.

That's just one of life's mysteries.

Apple proved they’re not superstitious by not skipping the iPhone 13. 😁

But at least it was not officially announced on a Friday. 😛
