You have to have separate chips for each, but more importantly AM needs it's own dedicated antenna - you can't simply use the earphone cord as FM receivers do.
Thus, there probabl…
The frequency range for AM broadcast is so much lower than FM broadcast that you'd need a fairly bulky antenna to get anything. The low end of the AM band is about 560 kilohertz w…

Good point. I usually don't have the time (or the blood pressure contro…

Since that display isn't priced well into the stratosphere, I'd say the 6ms response time is using a different metric than Apple uses (could be black-white instead of gray-gray).
