Ha! No iPhone news indeed! We knew Steve Jobs wouldn’t abandon us completely, not his baby, not his “third-leg” love child! Jason Snell, putting the new MacBooks under the microscope for Macworld, discovers (via Daring Fireball):

Yes, it’s true — these new MacBooks work with your iPhone headphones. If you click the button on your iPhone headphones, iTunes pauses. Click again, and the music resumes. A double-click advances one track, and a triple-click moves back a track—just like on the iPhone. What’s more, the headphones’ built-in microphone appears as the input device “Microphone port” in the Sound preference pane.

How awesome — and completely Apple-like is that?

(But is it enough to make you order a new MacBook?)
