I use my iPhone 13 pro some for music. I have a 256 GB version. I do not buy music from apple, but rip all my own CDs in lossless format. I tunes will load my phone transcoding to 256 kHz AAC. I can get tons of music on it. I use that mostly in the car. When not in the car, I use Quboz streaming service on my phone either casting to a technics cd player through the stereo system or with Shure IEMs and the iPhone. The apple dongle for converting to 1/8" TRS connection is a pretty good 192/24 capable DAC.

I haven't had or needed an iPod for years.
