At last, someone's taking Apple to task for, uh, not turning on iPhone FM radio chips

Oh, except the corporations this administration and its minions are in thrall to.

It's particularly ironic that a number of US telcos disable the FM functionality themselves and charge the end-user a fee to reactivate it..

So, Pai is just doing his masters bidding again and trying to gain more money for the telcos.

One other point - the headphone-socketless Apple phones would have great difficulty doing FM as they won't have a nice cable to do the receiving with. I suppose that they could bring out an FM dongle (and I seem to remember that they used to for the iPod). And, I believe that the latest phones don't have the chipset with an FM radio.
