I wasn’t able to personally test this, but using an Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter - a common way of connecting generic USB devices to an iOS device - you can control and playback media from the rekordbox iOS app. Though I’m puzzled why a DJ might want to do this, it’s apparently also possible to connect a CDJ-3000 to your iPhone. With the CDJ-3000, that includes content on USB- and SD card-based media. While Pioneer DJ does still make several media players that have disc drives on-board for digital disc-based content playback - including the aforementioned CDJ-2000NXS2 - the CDJ-3000 follows the current trend of looking very much like the CDJs of old, but playing back only content from various types of solid-state media. It pushes aside the still-available CDJ-2000NXS2, while (thankfully) dispensing with the tongue-twisting NXS/NXS2 suffix that has been a fixture of the naming conventions of Pioneer DJ’s flagships for a few years now.
