Actually I’m surprised at just how many phones there are out there on the market without FM radio facilities. So the older phones have capabilities for FM radios? Up until now taken any talk of that with a grain of salt given just how much other rubbish we hear about iPhone these days. As for a phone not having a FM radio being a critical point? I’m not sure I go along with that. FM radio sets are so good and cheap these days so why not just go out and buy one, at a fraction of the cost of a new iPhone and surely - anyone preparing an emergency kit whilst travelling - would have some sort of radio on hand though I’m not sure I’d pick just a FM set, possibly something with multi bands such as a cheap and reliable World Band radio which can be held in the hand. I can assure you that carrying one of these would be well worth it given the FM radios in phones - given my experience - just don’t perform too well, yep for local stuff there okay but - if disaster strikes - you may need something better than that. Anyway its an interesting discussion and the whole idea of FM radios in phones hasn’t been abandoned, take the Nokia 3310 and the other Nokia Android phones which are around now, I believe they all have FM radio facilities. Further to this - if you believe it absolutely critical that your iPhone have a FM radio - then a dock connector can be purchased to carry out this task.
