iPhone with radio function is a possibility in the not too distant future, the American authorities asking Apple to activate this function of the phones. Few of you probably know this, but the iPhone has a built-in radio chip, only Apple disabled it because it doesn't want users to hide the radio instead of paying for Apple Music subscriptions, but things could change.
iPhone with active radio function is required by the FCC president, the authority that certifies the sale of electronic products in the USA. The request comes in the context of the recent hurricanes that devastated large areas of the US, the authorities saying that if iPhone users had a radio function on their phones, they could have found out important information transmitted by them during the hurricanes, when the Internet was not working.
iPhone with radio function required by the USA
The iPhone is criticized by the FCC president for not having the FM radio function activated by the Apple company, putting the company in a situation where it seems that it does not care about its customers. He says that Apple should prioritize the safety of Americans and not money, linking the recent natural disasters in the US to the fact that Apple refuses to activate the FM radio function for its iPhone phones.
iPhone is also criticized by other government agencies for the lack of FM radio function, the Apple company being pressured from multiple sides to activate this function. Of course, Apple will do nothing for now and wait for everything to be forgotten, but the authorities have the option to force Apple to activate the FM radio function if they consider it useful for saving people's lives.
"Apple is the one major phone manufacturer that has resisted doing so. But I hope the company will reconsider its position, given the devastation wrought by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria. That's why I am asking Apple to activate the FM chips that are in its iPhones. It is time for Apple to step up to the plate and put the safety of the American people first."
My question is why this function could not be offered until now through Jailbreak?
Because there are no drivers for that FM radio chip.
Typical Apple, money in the foreground. Pay the slaves !!!
And with the radio I will still pay the Apple subscription, they shouldn't worry from this point of view because there are still a lot of people like me in this world, especially in America
I agree with iAndrew and will do the same.
