In fact, it even triggered conversation on social media about on how to sit down with your phone in your pocket without damaging it. But as last year's bendgate controversy showed, a lot of people do it.
You might think that it's pretty obvious that putting the device in your back pocket-and sitting on it-is a bad idea. The most recent victim: a 6-foot-2 man who was pleased to learn that the solution to his stubborn sciatica pain was not replacing his car (which he had been blaming), or surgery or drugs, but simply finding a new place to carry his iPhone. And I've been able to trace it back to the object tucked into their back pocket. I know that because, as a practicing neurologist, I have seen several patients complaining of the problem over the past few years. Specifically, it can trigger sciatica, or pain that starts in your buttocks and shoots down the leg. But storing your phone in your back pocket can also be bad for your back and butt. As our tests of the iPhone 6, Samsung Note 3, and other smartphones a few months ago showed, keeping the devices in your back pocket could bend the device when you sit down.
