This sums up the points so well - I am not a pro musician (but hang out with musicians from time to time) - not only is having to use a dongle a pain, but the fact it is lower quality + a hissing noise has been observed when the phone is under heavy load is unacceptable.
It's annoying, as I was going to get an iphone 7, the UI on most Android phones a mess.. might just enjoy the reduction on a 6, though if I'd wanted a 6 I could have waited.
I personally wouldn't update any work-essential computer to any bleeding-edge software. Especially audio. Especially hardware I use to perform.
It seems absurd.
So does the suggestion to switch to Windows instead. Anyone who had to mess around with ASIO drivers, latency and crackling and sudden freezes under Windows can attest to that.
I wouldn't even add the fact that Windows 10 just screwed the partition table up for the second time within a week. Pretty problematic.

Some of the things pointed out in the article do have merit: Apple's QA seems to be a little off nowadays - we need that more than any hardware right now.

Bah, enough of my first world problem.
