Hi, Barry and all.
First, you are quite right that the FM radio receiving hardware is
actually included in the iPhone. I would be surprised, knowing Apple,
if it were activated in a firmware release, they would have done this,
if they were going to, for the iPhone 4S.
Having said that, I don't know how much it matters given that there
are so many apps for streaming radio over the phone's data
connection, and given that radio streaming takes up fairly little
data, particularly compared to video streaming. I say this living in a
country where data is still quite expensive. Despite that, though, if
you have even a few hundred megabytes of mobile data, you can listen
to medium-quality stations for hours.
I hope that's of use.
Aman
