Who cares about that outside of France?

You missed the point completely.
Well, I don't think I did miss the point. My point is that if you are
English speaking, then your posts are valid here whether you are in
France, Germany, UK, USA, or anywhere else and whether they are about
France, Germany, UK, USA or anywhere else.
I'm in the US. I didn't get *anything* with my iphone, except a usb
cable, and a paper clip type pin (to eject the sim module). If I were
in europe, I guess I would have gotten lots more shit in the box?
There are various local laws that Apple has to comply with. For example:
- In France (as per the topic), Apple had to continue
including earphones / EarPods with the iPhone.
- In Brazil, Apple still has to include a charger with
the iPhone.
- In China, Apple has to remove some apps from devices.
If Apple, and other manufacturers, do not compy with thes types of
local laws, then they are simply not allowed to sell their products
there.
The bottom line is that you can't become a 3 trillion dollar
company unless you scrimp on everything, have exorbitant prices,
and guard your walled garden like a mother hen. Chinese factories
are also a must these days.
