        I would guess free access to information / entertainment etc. And radio and headphone go together because headphone is used as antenna.

          Interesting. I didn’t know about the antenna. Personally haven’t actively listened to a radio in what feels like 20 years. There doesn’t seem to be anything worth listening to on there, to me at least. There’s a much bigger variety online.

          But to each their own. I don’t know any phones that still have radio. Do they still exist?

            As much as I would like it, nothing has radio these days. But does make sense without data plans /internet

        I use the radio in my phone all the time. There are a lot of good stations around here to listen to. Cell service sucks though, so there are a lot of dropouts if I try to listen online. It’s also a good way to get important information if there’s a widespread emergency.

      I understand but if anyone getting money for android phone, they seem to be one of the best options.
