The iPhone is a flagship product of Apple Inc., which is released in September every year. Founded in April 1976, Apple has become a leading Fortune 500 company after 48 years of development, headquartered in Cupertino, California. In addition to iPhone products, Apple also includes Mac, iPad, Appe Watch, AirPods and Apple Vision Pro, a headset that is not released in Chinese mainland.

Apple mobile phones have a large number of "fruit fans" around the world. In the process of using it, you will encounter various technical or functional questions. I believe that many "fruit fans" don't understand why Apple's mobile phone does not have call recording and radio.

Call recording is standard on Android phones, but Apple's system lacks this feature, and it is not too difficult to implement this technology. For the call recording function, I believe that it mainly focuses on the following aspects:

1. Protect personal privacy

Apple's mobile phone is well-known for protecting users' privacy. Then, some users will not understand that Android phones can record Apple phones, but Apple phones cannot record Android phones. In fact, in addition to protecting our privacy, Apple also takes into account that users cannot invade other people's privacy through Apple phones.

2. Regional regulatory restrictions

For example, the laws of the United States, the United Kingdom, Bangladesh, Greece, the United Kingdom, France and other regions prohibit the eavesdropping and recording of electronic communications. If you record without the permission of the other party, you may be punished. In these regions, not only Apple phones are not available, but also domestic mobile phones exported to these regions are not available.

||Why doesn't the iPhone have a radio

There is no technical difficulty for Apple to function on the radio. In general, SoC baseband chips have this function. If the phone doesn't support radio, it's most likely because there's no circuit designed to match it. First of all, let's note that Apple phones have not supported radio functions for generations. The reason must have been guessed by everyone.

1. The experience is limited

The radio function is that the antenna is required to work properly, and if the antenna is not qualified, it is easy to not receive the radio signal. In order to promote wireless Bluetooth headphones, the headphones with a 3.5mm interface have been canceled since the iPhone 7. This is equivalent to eliminating the antenna function of the radio.

We know that some stations will have an ad before they start, and this ad cannot be canceled, which may affect the user experience.

2. Distinguish product types

Although the Apple phone does not have the voice recorder function, Apple's iPod nano does. It is conceivable that if the Apple phone has all the functions of the iPod nano, then there is no need for this product to exist.

3. To promote "podcasts"

In fact, there is a radio-like radio station on the iPhone, which is called "Podcast". It's like an internet radio station where you can find, follow, listen to a variety of popular podcasts, and edit picks and personalized recommendations. On top of that, many of the shows offered by the "podcast" are free.

All in all, I think that the radio function may not be used very much in normal times, but in the event of a natural disaster, it is a good function to be able to release rescue information in time through the radio broadcast. At the end of the article, if you have any good suggestions, please leave a message in the comment area, and the editor will answer positively, and everyone will grow and progress together.

For more core technologies, please pay attention to Liangchen Technology, readers and friends, goodbye!
