Description
wgpuis conservative and only allowes BC textures on macOS. On iOS, it panics:Apple Silicon, starting with the "Apple9" family (A17 Pro/A18 and up), actually does support BC textures on all platforms, whereas older ones only supported them on macOS.
Their docs say:
The API is present on iOS >=16.4. I simply added the check gated on this version and it seems to be working well.
Testing
I manually tested this fork by running my Bevy app with BC textures on an iPhone 15 Pro Max (A17 Pro, Apple9), but I don't have a minimal repro. Let me know if you need more testing!

wgpumay be affected behaviorally.CHANGELOG.mdentries for the user-facing effects of this change are present.
