I've often wondered why Apple doesn't include the same, simple radio app found on iPods on the iPhone?

That's a good question but I'm glad to have TuneIn Radio to handle that task
I have also used TuneIn but your forced to use data if not on WiFi with any of the currently available radio apps for iPhone.

I just installed Tunein today and found that out fast so if you are on a restricted data plan meaning anything but unlimited you can burn it fast...LOLI have also used TuneIn but your forced to use data if not on WiFi with any of the currently available radio apps for iPhone.

That is why I posted a few weeks ago that all the Native apps we all put in a folder and hide on the last panel, Apple needs to look at these and a great Native radio app would be good. Tuenin is a great app but man with the cellular kills it unless you catch WI_FI you are done. I don't always have WI-FI at work where i would want to use it.Yeah that's what I'm saying. Also, I've learned with TuneIn and apps the like that games for my local MLB team are blacked out via web apps. I had to purchase a subscription via the MLB At Bat app to listen to the game. Another annoyance as I'm forced to pay to listen to something I could listen to for free with the native radio app

I don't think that Apple implemented it yet since there are Third Party apps that can handle this task.
Right but, unless I'm not aware of any, they all require you to use wifi/data. There are none that simply pick up stations over the air via radio signal.

A transmitter will add to the bulk of the phone.
Would it really be that substantial? Even the small iPods have the native radio app.

Knowing Apple. They won't do it, even if it doesn't add bulk. Those iPods have it because they are primarily used to listen to music. You should give Apple some feedback on this.
I guess it can't hurt to give feedback. There's a link somewhere for that correct?

The iPod Nano has the radio app because it has an internal FM radio receiver. iPhones and iPads do not - thus no simple app... None of the wifi or cellular data apps will typically offer professional or college sports is because of distribution rights... radio stations only have rights for over the air distribution... not internet... those rights are, as you've noticed - available via pay to play apps - follow the $$...
Apple thus far has not done radio receivers is likely because of adding receivers would alter design considerations and cause issues with battery life.Right. Just seems like it would be very easy to include an FM radio receiver in iPhones also.
