I’ve been using my old iPhone 6S+ as a dedicated music streamer with the camera adapter. While it does work well and pass full lossless audio to my DAC, I have to get up and walk to my stereo to play/pause/skip or find something else to listen to. It’s a bit of a hassle unless you just like to listen to albums at a time.These are useful if you want to charge your phone as well as control a DAC...

I'm using one with UAPP on my Galaxy Note 9 and Topping D50s. It also works with my 10" Huawei tablet if I want a bigger screen to browse on.
I have a Bluetooth remote coming that should let me perform those functions, but ultimately being able to control everything while sitting in your listening position is ideal. I don’t think it’s possible to do this with Apple at the moment unless you use a Mac as your source.
I am looking into alternate options with a RPi4b streamer, but most of them require a third party app and I’d prefer to use the native audio app to play music. Spotify and Tidal Connect both exist, but Spotify hasn’t released hifi quality and Tidal is using compressed MQA versions for their hifi tier. Qobuz to my knowledge requires an app like Moode to play through. There is Roon which would be nice, but $$$.
