The iPhone does in fact include an FM receiver, as detailed by iFix It:

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS are all provided by Broadcom and located
beneath EMI shields on the front side of the board.
Broadcom BCM4329FKUBG 802.11n with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and FM receiver.
Broadcom BCM4750IUB8 single-chip GPS receiver.

At the moment, though, Apple obviously haven't used the receiver in iOS.

Cheers.
