Apple announced iOS 17 at WWDC 2023. Minimum iPhone it appears is iPhone SE2 (2020). I did have my iPhone SE1 (2016) up iOS 15.7.6 - 6 years. Apple started the Dual OS Update from iOS 14/15, iOS 15/16 and iPadOS 14/15, iPadOS 15/16.

Apple decided not to further update iOS/iPadOS 14 (went up to 14.8) but did continue with iOS/iPadOS 15 on supported Devices. I'm all up to date on all of my devices now.

“Twitter user Stephen Robles has demonstrated the USB webcam support and notes that it only works in FaceTime right now. That’s because this is a new underlying API in iPadOS 17 and developers will need to update their apps to support the new camera options. It will be particularly useful for apps like Zoom or Microsoft Teams to be able to use external USB cameras and webcams.

“Another Twitter user, Brian Voll, discovered that you can even use Elgato’s HD60S+ USB capture card to stream content from a game console or any HDMI device into a FaceTime call. Once apps like Twitch and YouTube are updated to support this new external camera capability then it will also turn the iPad into a much more capable mobile streaming device.”
