Update that gets a FM radio for iPhone!
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
Well, no update on an existing phone can do that. It's a hardware issue.
I believe that Griffin make a FM radio that plugs into the iPhone and can be controlled through an app. But the latest reviews are not positive.
Be aware that FM reception on a phone can be very hit and miss......
Ah but let's not forget the relatively unusual ability of English to survive misuse with intelligibility intact, and if misused in the same manner often enough to absorb the variant into its already bulging panoply.
You could be right young Meg. Perhaps there is some reason that the word "English" is so similar to the word "England", and is indeed the same word used to describe the inhabitants thereof? 😁
Young!?! You flatter me, Sir!😉
Indeed. Just as long as the misused spelling is not claimed to be proof that the original spelling is wrong. And I will happily refute any claim made by any spellchecker. Some random spellchecker from a random source is not the judge of correct spelling. The Oxford English Dictionary is the law in this area.

One hopes so. 🙂

While I am in full accord with most of that (certainly the second point) the first is somewhat problematical in that 'correct' English must always be referenced to a point in time, it is, and always has been a moving target, such is its strength. While France tasked L'Academie to keep French what it never was English just forged ahead, adopting new words as fast as it could conquer. Quelle horreur 😮

My grandkids listen to FM every time they are in a car. The broadcasters are indeed attempting to protect their "turf". As I and many have stated, it is not about "market" it is about "availability" when needed or desired. I personally exclude myself from the group, as I choose a "customer friendly" device and carrier - hoping that the tornado doesn't Dallas devastate Dallas again like it did when I was a kid. Ask folks in Illinois whether they would have liked to have an FM radio in their pocke
Tornadoes rip through parts of Midwest; 2 killed

What is your technical support question?
Something about fleeing Dallas I think.

Good point. I must admit to being petty... but in future I will try not to be baited into FTT
Brits (and Texans) are notorious for their slaughter of language. Try to rhyme "Juan" in Byron's Don Juan sometime - comes out " jew-ahn" every time 👿
Ah Texans, all those additional and unnecessary syllables occupying the available space nicely.
Law everywhere, for the English language. It would even include the "misused", methinks. Oddly enough, Van - quotemaster @ qotd.org - had this topic today
Your Quotes of the Day for - 18 April 2015
The last "fascicle" of the first edition of the Oxford
English Dictionary was published on this day in 1928, over
100 of these installments had been released since the first
one went to press in 1884, the work of six editors and
hundreds of contributors, including J.R.R. Tolkien and one
murderer who, unbeknownst to the editors, mailed his work in
from an asylum for the criminally insane. The OED attempts to
record every word ever printed in English, including quotes
to document early uses for each meaning -- their collection
includes 2.5 million quotes, making my 91,489 seem
insignificant.
My neighbor to the West, deggie, and I resemble that remark.
FM radio for iPhone!, FM radio for iPhone!
