IPhone headphone jack on the bottom?

Ok, so I saw those Samsung commercials where they joke on the people waiting in line for the new iPhone. One of the actors says, "The headphone jack… Is on the BOTTOM!" and then makes a motion like it explodes his mind. Now I figured this was just some stupidity making fun of the iPhone. Then I just saw a commercial for the new iPhone headphones and they show the person plugging it into the bottom of the phone. WHAT! The headphone jack really IS on the bottom? Is it just me, or is that the dumbest thing ever? So when you are listening to music, you have to put the phone in your pocket upside down? When you have it on in the car you have to put your phone upside down the cup holder? I really don't get it. Why would you put the headphone jack on the bottom of the phone? That seems quite asinine.

Added (1). Since I've been using the iPhone since 2008, I've gotten used to putting it into my pocket right side up. That would have to change my whole way of thinking. And I'm talking about sitting in the passenger seat. I don't know. I like it better on the top. Oh well.

1.It's more natural to put it in your pocket upside down. You are normally holding it rightside up so you don't need to adjust where/how you hold the phone.
2. You shouldn't listen to music while you drive… It's dangerous. And if you're riding why even put down your phone. Just keep it in hand and you can switch the song whenever. Or put it in your pocket. Or just set it down.

Actually it was originally on the bottom and it works great better if you ask me

Honestly, it makes sure your phone doesn't fall down easily. And, don't worry, I have been using Apple products for the past 5 years and have had no problem.

  • Somehow, a huge piece of the headphone jack got stuck in the headphone port, and I can't find any I think the headphone type is just a normal iPhone headphone. So ground, audio, mic and some of the plastic, or whatever it is, around it, got stuck in there, and it's not super deep, probably because it's almost the whole headphone jack, but it's still in there. Someone please help! I can't find anything! It's just the headphone jack tip that got stuck for everyone else! It's a laptop.

  • Is my iPhone the cause of my headphone jack breaking? So I have an iPhone 4S and I was using these headphones for about a year and all the sudden the jack you plug in to the phone, bent. It wouldn't work anymore. I don't know how this happened, it may not have been my iPhone. However, now I have a new pair of headphones and I just want to make sure it isn't my phone doing this, could it be my phone or is that very unlikely?
