I'm reading this in the release notes of Xcode 13:

The Xcode 13 release supports on-device debugging for iOS 9 and later(...)

source: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-13-release-notes

Now this may sound like a stupid question, but does this mean that iOS 9.0 is the minimum iOS Deployment Target we can choose from in Xcode 13?

Yes.

The simplest way is to try it...
I created a new iOS project.

The "Deployment Info" dropdown shows values from:
• iOS 15.0
to
• iOS 9.0

And that's it. Nothing earlier than 9.0

Personally, I would have believed Apple in the first place, but there's no harm in double-checking ;-)

Thank you very much for your answer. This is very helpful. Indeed I didn't try, I'm still using Xcode 12.0.1. This is because I don't trust Apple that much when it comes to supporting older OSes and devices. And I do care about this, as a developer.
