It cannot be used as an input. Out of interest, what microphone do you use? Thanks.

Now I am curious to know if one would be able to use that short connector cable which comes with the iPhone 7 to record from an external source. I am very tempted to test this but I am a bit worried that I could damage the iPhone. Does any of the experts have an opinion on this possibility?
