yet another thing you don't understand.
that's about third party companies who continue to track people despite the user choosing to not be tracked.

1) I get 5 or six FM stations here, just plugged my big Sennheiser headphones into my Xiaomi smartphone.The wire was mostly coiled up.
2) I then switched to speaker on the phone, left the headphones connector in of course. The Xiaomi automatically searches to the next FM station if I press the < or > button.. 3) Only if you are in range, payed for the (maybe prepaid) subscription to your provider 4) AND only if the tower still stands (some here were burned down by anti-5G protesters a while back), 5) and only if that provider does not have a blackout (like Vodafone has here on a regular basis it seems).AM is pretty much dead here.
6) Yes my Xiaomi can do all that, plus the FM radio, price was 140 Euro, (about 140 USD these days) Of course it also has GPS, magnetic compass, google maps for navigation, level meter, and even can work as remote for many makes TV, like for my Samsung TV for example.Value for money, has not failed me yet.

Bullshit Go away
that many?
smartphone apps can receive many hundreds if not thousands of fm radio stations from anywhere in the world, along with many other sources, and without the need to use headphones.
nope. all that's needed is wifi or cellular signal, which is available in far more places than terrestrial radio and capable of streaming far more stations.
there is also no subscription payment needed for radio station apps. services such as spotify have fees, but your concern is radio.
you live in a place inhabited by idiots.
nevertheless, 5g is not needed. 4g/lte still exists, as well as 3g in many places, although that is slowly being turned off.
why haven't those 5g towers been replaced?
false. cellular providers can't block internet streaming.
a few radio stations might not offer a feed, but that's the exception, not the rule.
am is useful for news, sports, traffic, talk shows, etc.
the point is that a smartphone can receive *much* more than just fm radio, making an old school terrestrial fm radio obsolete.
welcome to the future.
take your own advice.
you are mindlessly blaming apple for the actions of ad tracking companies, who ignored the user's choice to not be tracked and tracked them anyway.
The biggest issue Apple ran into with the PowerPC processors was the high tdp (thermal design power). It didn't matter much for desktops but it was causing the Macbook to fall too far behind the power/performance/battery life of X86 Windows laptops. "PowerPC processors had the potential to be very fast, but they ran hot and required a lot of power, which is bad for laptops,"

. The move to X86, and the ability to dual boot Windows and OS-X, also enabled sales of Macs to a much wider user base, "Even though Apple primarily moved from PowerPC to Intel x86 for performance reasons, one of the huge advantages of the move was that for the first time, Mac users could run Windows natively on Mac hardware,"
formatting link
.
that is flat out false.
powerpc chips had a *lower* tdp than similar intel chips and ran cooler to where cooling fans weren't even needed in some cases. they also had lower power consumption, making it better suited for laptops.
also wrong.
first of all, macbooks use intel processors (and now apple silicon arm processors).
it was powerbooks that used powerpc processors (and a bit of trivia, that's *not* why it was called powerbook, which predates powerpc).
second, the powerbooks were competitive, if not outperforming similar spec intel laptops at the time.
also wrong.
not only did the first powerpc powerbooks *not* run hot, but they didn't even have a cooling fan.
later models (e.g., powerpc g4) did have a fan, which rarely spun up.
only the powerpc g5 ran hot, although there was a low power version sampling at the time of the intel transition, which was too late to be used.
that part is true, although not as big of a deal as it might seem.
not quite.
the reason was that apple's long term goals did not align with motorola/freescale and ibm as well as they did with intel.
that was a minor advantage, and relatively few mac users did so.
amusingly, quite a few windows users bought macbooks *just* to run windows, erasing mac os entirely.
Bullshit.
Inclined to agree. Whilst I-pods may have had VHF radio, no cellphone IOS or android has VHF hardware built in to best of my knowledge. I use 'radio over the internet' when out and about with mine
Can confirm.
I was over on Vancouver Island visiting my brother and his wife for Easter and we were cleaning up some old technology...
...including an iPhone 4/4s that hadn't been powered on in at least 5 years.
It just started.
And while a good many phones do have FM as a feature, I would be a lot of money that most people never use it or are even aware of it.
In my area I get way more than that (28). The sound quality is not as good as I get with my Sony HD Tuner, but it's convenient to have this capability. Alas with the loss of the headphone jack it will not be available on new phone.

mine is an older model. Never use it, as analog TV is no longer transmitted here and I have 3 other more modern phones (no apples).
Just because you say so? Nah. No sale, sorry.
Especially considering Apple included a set of Lightning headphones in the box at the time. : )
Yup.
cellular data plans are only needed if there's no wifi.
most people have wifi at home, work and/or school, which is where they normally listen to the radio (or watch tv), and won't need to use *any* cellular data.
the specs say 640x480 resolution, which is incredibly s***ty.
this video confirms just how s***ty it is:

*and* they included a lightning adapter.
it's hard to encourage buying something new when *two* solutions are provided in the box.
Do they? I couldn't find a single example
