Why iPhones Don't Have A Radio
If you’re switching from Android, you may’ve wondered why its fairly standard FM radio feature isn’t available on Apple’s iPhone. And there are a few reasons why, starting with the components.

They didn’t add the radio because they’re trying to sell Apple Music, That’s it.
I love my apple gear, and I’d never use anything less, I’m 100% ok with the choices and decisions they make, that’s why the iPhone experience is the best and as good as it is, what people don’t seem to understand is as you mentioned, is that apple does everything for a reason, and people should like the idea that if it’s not 100% perfect it’s noting going into. iPhone or Apple Watch, if you don’t like that or don’t agree with it then #theresanandroindforyou
Why buy songs on iTunes if you can listen for free on FM channels. Apples walled garden protecting its financial interests
It would be great to have as a back up. Where I live if one cell tower goes down I would be screwed. So FM would be a good way to get news in a emergency situation if a cell tower went down.
I may be two days late to the party, but I don't think I've ever clicked on a recommended video so fast in my life as I desperately want to know why iPhones don't have an FM radio. However, I do want to clarify that select iPod models actually DO have an FM radio that can even let you tune to the Japanese 76-90 (now 95 with plans for immediate to very near future expansion to 108) MHz band along with the North American 88-108 MHz band. I don't know if they ever included the 65-74 MHz Russian OIRT band, but I know they did the Japanese and North American bands.
An addendum: Apple's decision to release the iPhone 7 and onward without the Broadcom chipset was also very conveniently timed since the iPhone 7 and onward no longer feature a headphone jack, which makes use of the cord in a pair of wired headphones as the antenna.
they probably also did it to slightly boost the apple music subscriptions
in other words- they didn't wanted their Apple Podcast market to be interrupted
Who really wants FM radio in a phone??? It’s useless now who wants to listen to all the commercials???
That is just sad
Another reason why I won't be buying a iphone.
It is a Radio section on Apple Music with local broadcasters live
Honestly, I did not know that my samsung phone had one
And without an official app i find it useless
Why apple don't have fm radio
We Apple team, less… for more
Radio are so useful when u don't have internet ☺️
nope, just lazy development taking places
The real reason they didn't include FM is because they didn't want any competition for itunes and Apple music.
I genuinely feel they removed radio because of 2 this one "no cut" and the audio quality of FM radio on a loud speaker.
It be included in iPhone 20
These reasons still kinda make no sense orher than quality. Nobody listens to radio while sitting in one place. Everybody listens to it on the go while on the car and most of the time they dont need to edit their fm frequensy. Fm is also for safety a good to have thing because if the internet it out but radio works, you can listen to the radio for the emergency announcing and updates
who uses radio in 2022 lol
The fact that iPhones have no radio is one of the reasons why I stay away from Apple devices.
Also they don't have a headphone jack, and I can't replace the battery in them…
Apple doesn't always have a reasonable reason for leaving out features. This guy make it look like there is. I still like the videos by the way
iPod Nano, 5th and 6th generation, did have FM radio
if you ask siri hey siri play 103.5 FM she will play radio, or he if you use male voice. 😁
Good move on apple’s part
I❤️radio works
Not this time. Cowboy. You come up with some convincing arguments but you blew this one. They were the iPod. There was no way they were gonna give an alternative to buying music. Their music
Lame and Laughable logic….why not remove internet apps…Internet is also having variable coverage and has poor transmission in villages ….and why not remove calling also it is also network dependent.
Shameless and meaningless explanation.
its because they want to sell apple music product, thats it
Apple product over price
Charger never
Apple phone designing Full comedy
Deciding not change
Fast charger 🔌 no
🖕🏻🖕🏻
Wow. The number of Apple fans defending this is mind blowing. It is like Apple can do no wrong in your eye.
Really? Apple makes more ad breaks
honestly who tf stills listen to the radio
I call BS if this is why they chose not to include fm tuner. They are afraid that people can listen to free music instead of buying in itunes
FM radio is avable on music/itunes app its titled radio
This is why I salute the long defunct Zune HD. It did have an HD radio tuner that picked up FM and HD radio signals. It was nice. I wish I still had my Zune HD!
I Like your videos even before watching them. Keep up the good work.
Radio: no money
Apple music: yes money
No profit, no use.
A calculator didn’t make sense to apple either, so they left it out in the ipad
plus apple music has digital radio station streams on the app free to use so it doesnt need to use a radio app when you can just go to the music app.
There are no reasons for this 😒😒.
FM radio is useful.
can u cut breathe sounds
I already switch to iPhone, I like iPhones like you, but I don’t really care
I don’t like android
I remember buying the FM transmitter for my iPod classic. Was kind of cool to have radio on the go.
how tf do i even get it since i have an android
iTunes/Apple Music revenue might got affected I guess 🤔
Right decision made.
why should it be added?
because its a great way of listening to music.
i dont want to have to be in the car or to buy a huge piece of equipment to listen to it 🙁
