On the basis of logic alone, no amount of MARKETING is going to convince an
intelligent person how "courageous" only Apple claims it is, for them to
remove basic functional hardware - whose loss is what cripples the iPhone.
How many _thousands_ of Israeli civilians who were inside their
safe rooms and hiding under beds in bedrooms and even some hiding inside
kitchen cabinets for half a day were there who would have given anything
for an FM radio in addition to that almost worthless iPhone without it.
