MacBook Air
It's getting phased out, but would be perfect for your needs. FYI, Best Buy will match any price if you want to go and pick it up.

If it is in your budget, I'd advocate the MacBook over the Air based on the display. I was going to get the Air but once I played with the MacBook I couldn't go back

The speakers on the new Macbook Pro's are pretty amazing for a laptop.

The MacBook is 12 inches and personally felt a bit undersize when I tried it out.
I recently bought a 13 in MacBook Pro and love it. It looks to be the size of an ipad when closed but doesn't feel small at all when working on it. The computer's length and width are actually smaller than my late 2008 model MacBook because they shrank the bezel.

I'd go with the 13 inch mb pro. As mentioned, the screen on the air is a deal breaker, and the 12 inch mb is slightly too small, and powered by a mobile chipset, so a standard laptop (pro or air) should provide more future proofing.
If on a budget, try to get the previous generation 2015 MacBook Pro. There isn't that much difference between that and the newer iteration, especially for your intended use.

I've had an HP for 7 years and I do all the stuff you described plus used it in college. I can't really tell you anything about the processors and all that, but my computer cost about half of the MacBook Pro and has lasted me 7 years with no problems at all.

Side note- dumb question but what's the easiest way to move music from my iPhone to iTunes on the Mac?
Plug your phone in to the computer
As far as your wanting a MB for longevity - I just did a hard wipe/ios re-install of my 2010 MB Pro. Runs like new.

I think we're getting to the point of diminishing returns with new computers and laptops. All the chips that are brought to the market primarily tout efficiency (i.e. less drain on the laptop battery) rather than processing power, and any speed increases are generally incremental.
For basic every day computing tasks 5-7 year old computers run fine, especially when paired with an SSD.

Louisiana tax free weekend is this weekend. Just a heads up
