For the free space, you can actually sync music on Apple Watch and then connect AirPods to it when exercising so you can avoid taking your phone.

Yes. Up to 8 GB. And then there's about 4-5 GB for the OS, something for the apps, and the second half is empty. For now at least.

I like to leave my phone at home, and I load all sorts of content on to my Apple Watch. For me it is practical to have a lot of my favorite music permanently on my watch, then podcast and audio books are transient. If you have an Apple Watch, give it a try.
