Headline is inaccurate. The headphones did not explode. The batteries did.

Maybe the Trump administration will allow what we all really want... A merger of AT&T and Verizon! Can you imagine?!? That would be awesome. Amazing coverage, and a single entity to handle all our customer service needs, (not that there would be many with a combined company that great!) It would be like Comcast now, who's amazing nationwide network provides fast, affordable internet/television service to millions. We can only hope! MAGA!

Your cynicism not withstanding I get your point. You want total government regulation of prices and features. You, through your elected representative, will decide how much you will pay for everything and how things will work. You should know that’s already been tried and failed in places like Cuba, Venezuela, the Soviet Union. 

You have you're irony switch toggled off.

How much will this headless Macbook cost to consumers?  If it's too low, it will not be profitable enough and possibly steal sales from more profitable macbooks, maybe iPads even.  If it's too high, then most people will think they'll be paying for a device that's useless without an iPhone but with a few dollars more they can have a full-fledged Macbook (on top of their iPhone).  There is no space in Apple's product spectrum to squeeze this device in.

Also, anybody remember the Asus Padfone that briefly appeared and disappeared like random particles popping in and out of existence in the void?
