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

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.

 
For badgolferman, Chris is just wrong.

Yep. Arlen and badgolferman desperately want to distract from the fact
that Apple has been providing support far longer than their competitors,
and it's why Arlen has been harping on his little "Apple doesn't patch
all older versions forever" line despite the fact that the practice is
standard in the industry. They are desperate trolls.
