WOW, OK you got my attention, won't put my iPhone in my back pocket anymore

That's crazy stuff. Don't worry they will sue apple cause I don't believe packaging specifically warns you not to sit on your phone.

IMO it's not a good idea to keep a phone in your back pocket regardless of the make and or model.

Hear you, common sense shouldn't have to count for anything.

I actually keep my phone in my front pocket all the time

My phone would eventually become a aluminum and glass wafer if I kept it in my back pocket.

I don't understand why pants have back pockets to begin with. It can't feel good to sit on your wallet or keys and putting your phone in there is stupid.

Ever try walking around with a wallet in your front pocket.

Depending on the type of wallet it's not noticeable unless you sit for a long while

I do it every day.

This article reminds me of an article that was on The Onion some years ago...titled something like "The dangers of driving your car into a frozen lake..."

Having your weight on your phone is generally not a good idea

I'm with you on that. There's no way I could put my phone in my back pocket, that's instant death.

I keep it in my front pockets at all times; well... When it's not glued to my hand or sitting on school desks.

Right! Harvard Grad on the way....
