12.2.3 for Windows Vista

When I go to that page I only see:

iTunes 12.3.3 for Windows 7 or later

After a number of years Apple (and other companies) probably decides there are so few users of particular system versions it is not economical to invest in development of software for those systems, particularly since some systems simply do not have the hardware or software capability to support new features. That's just the way it is with technology. I guess the overlying rationale is if you can afford a gadget you can afford the newer computer and the high-speed Internet connection too.

No, I would not anticipate Apple bringing out a XP/Vista version of iTunes.

Apple have made a hash of the platform detection code on the downloads page. 😮

The most recent (and likely final) release of iTunes that supports Windows XP 32-bit and Windows Vista 32/64 was issued September 2015. It includes support for iOS 9, though not Apple Music. Apple Software Update won't necessarily fetch it for you and may claim you are up to date when you are not. The iTunes download page may not offer it to you either.

• iTunes 12.1.3.6 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2015-09-16)
• iTunes 12.1.3.6 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes6464Setup.exe (2015-09-16)
• iTunes 12.1.3.6 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards)- iTunes64Setup.exe (2015-09-16)

See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates if you have any problems installing it, or for direct links to the current or other recent versions.

I think that if apple allowed for the detection of iphone 6s/plus for windows vista users they should at least allow the iphone se to plug in since it's going to be the last one out on the market with the current iphone tech.
