Other Do "pro" iPhones get pro audio components? Should they? Will they?

The latest from Sony (linked video below) got me thinking about this question. Apple's "pro" iPhones have the better screens and cameras, but that about audio components?

My dear friend, they don't even have a headphone jack.

But they have a physical digital port.

Right. I don't think there are many "pro" audio folks that don't have a digital audio device connected to their computer via USB, Thunderbolt or PCI. I wouldn't expect a computer or a phone to ever have 1/4" and XLR inputs, microphone preamp, phantom power etc.

Considering the fact that iPhone audio is now handled by a DAC built into the EarPods or Apple’s lightning to 3.5mm adapter.
Something tells me there is no pro audio chips in the pro phones

In this context, what exactly would a "pro" component be?
