See Post above. Same solution was employed on the BlackBerry Passport. No need for an antenna to be built in. As for the former, I was streaming FM radio on the Passport when I still had it and did not notice the excessive battery drain you mention. Nothing to Google here actually.The National Association Of Broadcasters say that streaming an FM audio feed can drain a smartphone battery real fast. Also that on the iPhone, the antenna would have to be built in, which could add bulk. Google it!

Now we're on the same page. They can do it. They don't want to. Reason - none. They just don't want to. This is very Apple, that much I know.Again, you're talking Blackberry. That's not an iPhone! You don't know much about Apple do you?
There's a missing appropriate antenna and amplifier chip dedicated to driving that antenna. Unlike the Murata chip that doesn't take up any extra space in the phone.
Could it be done? Absolutely. But Apple wants a very thin iPhone. No extra bulk. Besides, FM is apparently on the way out. And Apple knows this.
Hahahaha, yes. We'll see how that works out for them.The last thing Apple wants is a reason to keep that pesky headphone jack.

I work in an industry where duplication of communication equipment is routine, and those who live long enough to learn understand that it is better to have several devices with "one function per box" rather than one single multipurpose device..
Don't miss the point, modern day life is more like an Swiss army knife, most want a single device that does everything to include wallet, keys, banking etc... I can't see anyone saying, "got my flip flops, shorts, beach towel, shades... Oh, and transistor radio in case there's an emergency..." But glad we can all gather around yours...
Heck man, I'm looking for the day when our drivers license, registration and insurance cards are loaded into our phones and you can give them to the cop via Bluetooth or NFC.
You can auto insurance cards. They emailed me mine and it's good if I get stopped.

Most likely will sell less phones that would have sold if there was a headphone jack.

Heh, if only it worked like that. Instead, you're going to get some crappy dongle with a terrible DAC built into it for $50 that you will have to keep plugged in all the time. There will be fewer sales as a result of the headphone jack being removed. I have no doubts about it. Problem is though, it likely won't be possible to separate the lower sales due to the missing headphone jack from just a general decline in demand for the iPhone. We will likely have to wait until the 2017 release to really gauge the impact.People said the same thing when Apple ditched the 30-pin port on iPhone and iPad. They got over that and they'll get over this.
Truthfully, the Lightning port can push a lot more power than the headphone jack. What this will equate to is much better sound.
