No. That would be a huge amount of effort as there have been 14 major
versions. Probably the most 2-3 recent are supported.

Nope.
 

-- How old must an iPhone be before it can support the newest iOS major
version release?

 
Not sure what you mean here, but iOS 15, 16 and 17 have received several
updates this year. IOS 15 supports back to the iphone 6 which is nearly
nine years old.
 
 

 
According to the articles Arlen provided, Apple admits to only fully
supporting the current software version (17) with security updates.

Did you read the link Andrew/Arlen/whatever shared? Did you draw the same
conclusion as him?

What he says and what he can show/prove are often very different things.

How are
you claiming 15,16, 17 are supported?

Look here:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222

You can see that two or three have been updated at the same three times
this year alone: 22nd Jan, 5th Mar, 22nd Mar. Since the release of iOS 17,
iOS 16 has received eight updates and iOS 15 has received three.

That's clear evidence to show that Apple are still maintaining (aka
supporting) the current and previous two versions of iOS.
