How do you get OTG functionality with iOS 17?

If nospam were still here he'd explain to you that no one needs the functionality provided by OTG.
Actually it can be extremely useful. Not sure if the iPhone 15, with USB-C can support any of the vast number of devices that Android OTG supports.
Of course some devices used with OTG have equivalent functionality using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, but not all. Also, OTG powers the external device which of course isn't possible with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Sometimes there are workarounds to the lack of OTG on iPhones, but they are cumbersome and time-consuming. For example, if you want to play a DVD on an Android device you plug a portable DVD drive into the tablet or phone and play the DVD. On iPhone or iPad, you use a computer to rip the DVD to a format supported by iPadOS or iOS then transfer the file to the phone (https://www.movavi.com/support/how-to/how-to-convert-dvd-for-iphone.html).
