Do you even know how iOS updates, Jolly Roger?
The answer is no.
 
Facts.
 
Apple only fully supports one release and one release only.

He must know how iOS updates its software. It’s spelled out pretty clearly
in Apple’s own document above.

Note: Because of dependency on architecture and system changes to any
current version of Apple operating systems (for example, macOS 14, iOS 17,
and so on), not all known security issues are addressed in previous
versions (for example, macOS 13, iOS 16, and so on).

I also know you both desperately want us to ignore reality: 67% of
devices run iOS 17, 19% run iOS 16, 8% run iOS 15 = *94%* of devices are
running the three most recent versions of iOS. Apple is regularly
patching iOS 17 through iOS 15.
