So you're phone does have an FM transceiver (transmit/receive). It is activated in your phone to work within the Wireless Data/Communication spectrum. Not FM radio spectrum. Also explained as your phone communicates to the cell towers and other things on a different frequency and isn't currently programmed to be tuned to receive in the entertainment radio spectrum. Your phone might be tuned to receive 330.1-430.9 and not any of the radio stations you're familiar with between 88.1-107.9 . you would need an app in order to tune these. iphone doesn't currently support any app that does this. I'm almost positive the Old 3g iphones did but it went away quickly for some unknown reason to me.

I think you missed the repeated explanations that the iPhone would need an antenna for those stations. The phone doesn't support any apps because it doesn't have the hardware.

nice but it requires hard headphones. Why not allow the use of bluetooth headsets?


Because the bluetooth headphones would not work as antennas as they are not physically connected to the iPhone.


There is simply no way to get FM radio on an iPhone.


There is no mention of a program to dial, but the picture illustrates one running on the phone.

Not sure what that means.
