I maaaay have taken my phone on an accidental trip in a pool and was given an old phone to use as temporary. Has a headphone port. Saw the radio app and realized how do many of my smart phones even had radio access even though they all are capable. Bastards

I've long thought that it was ridiculous that radio tuners are not standard in every cell phone. While we're at it, they should all be able to broadcast on the FM band so that you can ditch the Bluetooth receiver
That would clutter the fuck out of the airwaves, and is insecure to boot. You don't wanna pick up someone else's signal.
They already make devices that do it. Usually it's not a strong enough signal to get past the metal panels on your car, but strong enough for the radio to pick it up on an unused station
Yes, and it's easier to keep something like that confined to a car. There's more space and a sizeable natural buffer.
Now imagine a train car full of people using this.
It's an important thing to have in an emergency. The remaining cell towers will probably be overloaded, but you will likely still be able to hear an FM broadcast station to find out if you need to evacuate and where to go.
Radio tuner, and a basic audio recording application.
