iOS17 Back Triple Camera Regression

This is a regression between iOS 16 and 17. 

It appears that the Back Triple Camera accessed via getUserMedia switches cameras from wide to ultra wide while cropping the media stream to maintain the original field of view. 
This change in behavior is problematic as it impacts computer vision applications on the web, and there is no way to prevent the automatic switching. 

Our testing on devices with iOS 16 reveals that this behavior does not occur prior to iOS 17. 

I've attached a minimal example video of the issue to this report. 

Reproduction Steps:

1) Open: https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/devices/input-output/
2) Allow camera and microphone permissions
3) Select Back Triple Camera as the Video source
4) Move the camera close to objects and then back up 
5) Observe that the camera switches when close to objects v.s when backing away from objects
