THE FM AND AM FREE AIRWAVES ARE NOT SUPPORTED ANY LONGER IN SMARTPHONES - AS THE BACK UP TUNER WHEN NETWORKS CRASHES FROM THE IPHONE 7 AND 8 IS NONE EXISTENT

APPLE fans are getting very angry about a “hidden” FM radio that is allegedly refusing to switch on.

So much so, that the US Federal Communications Commission has requested the iPhone makers enable the frequency in the interest of public safety, reports The Sun.
As old-school as it might seem, FM radio technology is more than a way to listen to your fave radio show without draining your data allowance.
It could prove incredibly useful in an emergency when phone networks crash but radio services remain operational.
And following recent natural disasters in the US, politicians are calling upon tech giants to enable the function.
But Apple has poured cold water on the idea they could simply switch the technology back on.
