I have the new MacBook as well as a (pre-ordered) iPhone 7. I use both at work using headphones for private listening. If I want to use my iPhone 7's headphones, I will need to purchase an adapter that does not yet exist (3.5 > lightning).

I'm left with two options: 1) buy wireless headphones, 2) buy 3.5mm headphones and use the adapter when using the iPhone. It's not a huge issue, but it's not the "just works" motto when I have to finagle a way to make headphones work with two Apple products.

The adaptor comes in the box (if it didn't, it would seem to me an underhanded way of increasing the cost of the phone) Granted, I'm still not convinced it was the right time to phase out the port.

The included adapter is going the wrong way. I'd need female thunderbolt to male 3.5mm. I have to either buy an adapter or new headphones to use with both devices.
