    I was testing some older devices in my lab I found an iPhone 5C will only connect using WPA2. I thought WPA3 with opmode Transition should work.

    That may depend on the type of WPA3, if it's personal (SAE) or Enterprise. iPhone 5C seems unsupported/unmaintained since 2017, which is well before WPA3 and also before some modern encryption algorithms used today in WPA2/3 Enterprise.

    Some devices are incompatible with transition mode, this may be one.
