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

Yes but that's not really the point though.

This is about enshittification.

You now HAVE to buy a separate device instead of the wireless communication that uses radio frequency and is already in your pocket

It was a hardware feature that existed simply because it was the hardware they put in the phones to do other things as well. A onus feature that gave you increased value, until they removed the headphone jack that was and is still a contentious
