> Maybe FM radio

I get why a few years ago there was a push for this, but in this era, why? There are so many music / news / talk streaming options that traditional radio might as well be dead. You turn on the sports radio shows and they are deliberately advertising and directing you to their podcast over their radio show.

Because internet is slow, spotty, and 4G eats a lot of battery. FM radio is lightweight and instantaneous.

- Dual SIM

iPhones are Dual SIM. You can use a physical SIM + and eSIM. I have used my iPhone with two different plans/phone numbers for a while.

Not all companies offer eSIM. Also, if your phone breaks, with an eSIM you are left with nothing.

In China they sell iPhones that take two physical SIM cards.

These are all great iterative features, but no more than that.
