I suspect that people are getting this completely wrong and it's quite amazing too.

Here's what this is likely to be:

1. Select your phone
2. Select your power adapter/charging device, where none is an option
3. Select your listening device, where none is a option

In other words, they are likely unbundling and giving people options, including none (if they already have these items).

This is not lawsuit-worthy and should not be surprising or controversial.

While I think your idea is a good one, it would only come about as ordering accessories. It will not be included in the same box. Same as any other Apple device where you get a page that basically says "how these great things to go along with your new device?" They will keep selling all those things and offering them to you when you buy a new phone, but they won't be packaged together.

Dude.... not everyone buys iPhones online. There's stores also like AT&T, Best Buy and um... Apple Stores. What about non-Apple online stores?

What a fu**ing mess. Imagine the craziness store employees will have to go through? Will the charger be in the box? Separate? How would this affect the environment with separate boxes? Stores will have to stock pallets of free accessories?

Imagine the store employee telling you "Sorry we're out of iPhone boxes with no chargers but with Earpods."

Only solution could be all physical store iPhones have EarPods and chargers removed. Will customers have to redeem them online? What a clusterf**k for Apple. Now imagine the DELAYS that would cause. Now imagine the OUTRAGE when millions of customers can't get their chargers for another 3 months.

Here are two words for anyone who wants to limit spending on apps and can’t figure out how to place restrictions: gift cards. 

That only adds money to iTunes/Apple account, there still is a credit or debit card assigned to that Apple ID...once the iTunes/App Store gift card runs out, that card is charged, so this doesn’t limit spending.
