【Germany】
Fresh from the "you gotta be Germanykidding me!" department: the new iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR don't have headphone jacks, and they don't even come with a 3.5mm-to-lightning dongle.
Yes, that goes even for the nearly-$1,500 512GB iPhone XS Max.
That means if you want to use wired headphones or any other gadget that has a 3.5mm plug with your iPhone, you'll have to buy the dongle separately, for $9.
I've lived in dongle hell for a year now, with the iPhone X as my main phone and a 2017 MacBook Pro as my main computer, and I can tell you that dongles are still must-have items. And that's even if you primarily use wireless headphones. I literally used the headphone dongle today, to plug my iPhone X into a music player at the gym — just because your iPhone is up to date doesn't mean the rest of the world is.

The iPhone itself (phew)
EarPods that connect via the Lightning port
Charging cable
USB charger
Documentation
Hopefully Apple keeps the charger in the box next year.
