It's pretty clear to anyone who isn't stupid why Apple first removed the FM
radio and then Apple removed the industry standard headphone jack.

It's only low IQ iKooks who can't comprehend why Apple did those 2 things.

You can't blame the iKooks like nospam because they all have a low IQ and
are completely ignorant the headphone jack is in _most_ Android phones for
good reasons.

The iKooks are too low of an IQ to comprehend those reasons, as these
iKooks all truly believe it was "courageous" to lose all industry standard
functionality that most phones (except iPhones) have even today.

You can't blame the iKooks like nospam because they all have a low IQ and
are completely ignorant that analog headphone jacks have useful purposes.

It's only most iPhones that lack basic hardware functionality.

Posted out of the goodness of my heart to disseminate useful information,
where it's no longer shocking how _ignorant_ iKooks are as to _why_ Apple
inexorably, year after year, removes basic industry standard functionality.

Apple never offered FM radio in an iPhone.

that explains why you are so deeply confused.

that's an interesting trick, given that it didn't have one to remove.

except that android did that first.

No. It's you iKooks who are completely blissfully ignorantly unaware the FM
radio chip was in iPhones up until the classic iPhone 6/6s models, nospam.

"You probably didn't know it, but there's a FM radio inside your iPhone.
It's part of the wireless chip that provides the phone with WiFi
and Bluetooth (the Murata 339S0228 chip, in the case of the iPhone 6)"

Again, it's you iKooks who are always shockingly ignorant of what Apple
does (all you low-IQ iKooks know is what Apple "says" it does).

*National Association of Broadcasters calls for Apple to switch*
*on the iPhone feature you didn't know you had*

What's no longer shocking because it happens every time there is a fact
stated about Apple, is that you iKooks blame everyone but Apple for what
Apple does.

Why is it that you claim Apple has no free will, nospam?
All that money spent in advertising, and Apple has no free will according
to you.

Apple is brain dead, according to you.
Apple can only follow the lead of Android, according to you.

Why is it that you constantly claim Apple has no MARKETING at all, nospam?
Why do you claim Apple is stupid, nospam?

I don't know why.
All I know is you do it often.

I suspect you simply _hate_ what Apple actually does.
Because what Apple does is never what Apple "says" it does.
