Phones should have FM radio again

Radio access could be a critical safety feature in the years ahead.

I didn’t even realize Qualcomm removed the built in FM radio from their chips. Huh.

Right now the iPhone can straight up connect to the Iridium Satellite network, which IMO is far more useful that FM radio in any emergency. At least that system can send and receive messages, including most importantly GPS Co-ordinates.
