When Apple introduced the unibody MacBook Pros in 2008 I stumbled across a neat feature that I forgot about until today – I did not have the MacBook to test it:
MacBooks work with your iPhone headphones including the microphone and the button.
- 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.
- The headphones’ built-in microphone appears as the input device “Microphone port” in the Sound preference pane.
Smart, simple, just great. Another truly useful feature…

Cool. If only those iPhone headphones fit my ears!
