Right now if you buy a macbook and an iPhone, you will get:

An iPhone with no headphone jack, a pair of lightning headphones, a lightning to usb charging cable

A macbook with a headphone jack and no usb ports.

Out of the box you cannot charge your phone with your laptop, or use either headphones for either. They could very well be made by separate companies. They have Zero out of the box connectivity with each other. I don't care what anyone has to say about usb-c and the future: this is a step backwards for those of us in the present.
