WE do care about radio on iPhone thats why we are here on the thread. Im not sure why this thread is so important to a brillant mind like KiltedTims but to me its important because its a badic function of other smartphones and iphone doesnt have it.

So buy a smartphone that does what you want it to, buying one that doesn't is weird.

I forgot about this thread. It's still amusing.

You seem to have misunderstood. What I don't care about is whether you buy an Android phone.

IT seems pointless to me to post about how pointless the disscussion is. To me its not Pointless.

see! Here is the point! Someone with a solution! Thanks!

I Am hoping that someone releases a external am/fm attennae for the iphone or some similar solution and then replies to my messages here so i find out about it. Might not happen today but when it does ill be waiting. Just not sure what the point is of everyone trying to blast this thread full of posts about how pointless it is. And the more people that discuss the topic the more people that might be able to have a common goal and interest. Thats what forums are about i thought.

i Like the iphone ive never said i wanted to buy an android that just an assumption. I only pointes out that rhe android has one, another reason its silly for apple not to. You can keep mentioning hiw you dont care if i buy an android but i am just comparing. I like tge iphone and will stick with it even if it doesnt do everything i want. There is nothing wrong woth comparisons.

im glad my interest in this topic is making so many of you flock to this topic

I am not gonna read a bazzillion posts so this may have been suggested

-- Workaround --

go to an over-the-air-broadcaster's website > make a bookmark of the page > REPEAT for all your favorite broadcasters = just like buttons on the car dash

thanks but that wont work for me i want to listen to radio when i have nonservice or wifi. Its actually the ONLY time i need it probably.

And the more people that discuss the topic the more people that might be able to have a common goal and interest. Thats what forums are about i thought.

Actually, we are not allowed to discuss future Apple products or speculate - see the ToU which we all had to agree to when we established an account here:

Apple Support Communities Use Agreement

These forums are for technical questions and answers. A possible feature - which is what you are suggesting - is best brought to Apple's attention via feedback:

They do read those.

Where did you get that false information from? "Android" is not a phone. It is an operating system used by many different phones from many different manufacturers. A few of those phones have FM radio capabilities. Most do not, and newer models from some manufacturers that supported it in the past no longer do. Here's the list of those that do have FM radio capabilities: http://www.androidpit.com/android-phones-with-offline-fm-radio.

for just such emergency, getcha one of these kin of things and put it in your gizmo pouch, pocket or briefcase

An antenna wouldn't do you much good as the iPhone doesn't have FM or AM receivers.

Buy the iPod Nano 5ht generation. It has a FM radio. It also has a camera to record stills and video. It can also play full length videos (you know what I mean).
