You're right, I was wrong about iOS 17 auto-negotiating Coded PHY. After digging deeper, Apple did support it briefly in iOS 13.4 betas but pulled it in iOS 14 and it hasn't returned. CoreBluetooth still doesn't expose PHY selection at all. The iPhone hardware supports it but the OS won't use it. So BLE Long Range is going to be Android-only for now. I've updated the roadmap to reflect that.
