But, but... the iPhone 7 still comes with a dongle, so they're still providing the DAC. At least for now.

The rest sounds about right, unfortunately.

The iPhone 7 comes with two DACs, there's one in the earphones too now.

Yeah, but I guess once their 3rd parties get up to speed they won't need to any more ... I think it's more of an increment in a longer term plan.

I thought the dac is built into the dongle?

You are probably correct, but I think that was GP's point - apple are providing the dac .. for now
