Don't forget spending the $200 gift card on "3 games [he'll] never play"
Have you read the threads here?

On the other hand, who wants to be bothered by a headphone cable when you're already stressed about money?

I personally have never made it a habit to watch other people opening boxes regardless of the price.
Seriously. This guy's finances are giving me anxiety.
OP, how far into college are you? Because I made some dumb economic choices when I was in freshman year (spent about 2 grand on shit I didn't need and didn't get a job until I had no cash), but I never signed a contract for recurring payments. Those affect your credit you know.

I still think tech savvy. Relationships and hygiene on the other hand...

Right, I'm on one. They're not usually almost 4 years long, though. 1-2 years is typical.
Those are the one packaged separately

Lol total thread backfire.
Honestly I'm surprised anyone would even think wireless AirPods would come with an iPhone.

More than you'd think. It's astonishing how many people don't read up seemingly anything for purchases in that price range.
(Also: installment plans for phones rub me the wrong way, don't see why you would buy an expensive luxury item when you don't have the cash outright)

There's no excuse for being an uninformed consumer in 2017. And yet here we are.

Why is everyone jumping down the OP's throat? Geez. The advertising's confusing. It's Wii/Wii U but for Apple. I only knew when I bought mine. My gf assumed they were wireless though because it's in all the advertisements. I've known people that thought the Apple Watch came with the iPhone when that first launched too.
Right? Who wants to watch someone else fumble with plastic? Who enjoys that? A more reasonable approachwould be to just ask the sales associate what comes in the box next time.

you think it's a reasonable thing to expect most people to seek out unboxing videos?

"But it's only $25! And a free $200 gift card!"
Because that involves budgeting and managing finances for it for a 2-year period. If one doesn't, bad things happen.
Does OP sound like someone who can budget like that?
I think it's essential that if you are making a purchase of a certain monetary importance that you look into what you are getting, be that looking an unboxing video, reviews, the website of the product or whatever.
I never watch unboxing videos.

I wonder how many Gaffers bought the new 3DS not knowing it had no charger?

I'm due for an upgrade soon too. Hopefully Apple comes out with 8 by then and it has a minimalistic bezel too like Samsung's, otherwise I'm gonna gaze with envy at people holding Galaxy 8s.

I tinker on computer shit all the time as my main hobby, but I think I've maybe watched one unboxing, ever, for the iPhone 4, basically just to confirm if those really early leaks were real.
There's probably a generation gap here. I'd rather just read about stuff and see a few good photos than sit and watch videos. So, your point still stands!

OP, I'm pretty sure you can grab a pair of headphones from the Apple store. I'd stick with bluetooth since you're not too concerned with fidelity and they'll work with everything listed
Because things happen in life and people all the sudden can't afford their phone bills that include the installment plan. Then they usually end up having their accounts get suspended then cancelled due to not being able to pay at that point the remaining balance of the phones is dropped on top of your past due amount. Then it goes to collection and hits your credit. I will always be of the if you can't afford it now don't get it when it comes to things like phones the one exception is if you can make a decent down payment.
