My iPhone tried to kill me

[Nahmeanz]

I carry my iPhone in my pocket naked. When reaching into my pocket to get it out, the headphone jack is so sharp that it sliced a pretty good chunk off of my middle finger.

 

[adrianblaine]

I haven't held one yet, I didn't know it was that sharp. Hope it heals fast!

 

[Mac-Addict]

How can a small chunk of your middle finger being cut off result in your death?

 

[juanster]

hmm seems liek appple does this on purpose,, i sliced my thumb with my macbooks palm "rest" area sharp edge....

 

[mkrishnan]

I thought the headphone jack was recessed? Is it the metal casing surrounding it that has some flash on it or hasn't been filleted enough?

 

[MattyMac]

I don't see or feel that the headphone jack is sharp

Are you sure you are just not a hemophiliac??

 

[badtzmaru]

the headphone jack is rather crisp

 

[medea]

sure it was the heroin needle in your pocket?

I kid.

but after inspecting my iPhone I really don't understand how you could have hurt yourself with it.

 

[someguy]

If you're naked, how can the iPhone be in your pocket?

 

[iBookG4user]

My iPhone headphone jack isn't sharp, I don't see how it could cut part of your finger off.

 

[zap2]

Wow....I can't even begin to understand how this would happen..

 

[Rooskibar03]

actually if you run your finger over the jack and down towards the back of the phone the rear edge of the hole is somewhat sharp.


I can see how the OP could have caught his finger on it.

 

[Nahmeanz]

the backside of the headphone jack on my phone is rather sharp. i can probably sharpen a pencil with it

 

[PupnTaco]

I carry mine head-down, screen facing in so when I take it out to answer a call, it's in the proper orientation. And I still have all my fingers...

 

[Cybergypsy]

Mines not sharp at all, Wusss.....J/K

 

[iSaint]

If you're naked, how can the iPhone be in your pocket?

That's my question. I would think other things might be at risk if you're naked.

 

[zap2]

Lets see some pictures?


I want to see how bad it is!

 

[cmkx0001]

it's really not that sharp, i tried to cut myself with it. didn't work.

 

[MovieCutter]

I don't believe this for a second. My iPhone headphone jack isn't sharp enough to cut cheese, much less a finger.

 

[jsw]

I believe the OP. Just minutes ago, opening my MBP as I sat on the deck in shorts with it on my lap, the lid caught the fleshy part* of my inner thigh as I opened it and gave me quite a pinch.

I think Apple is out to maim its customers. I blame Ive. Sure, the designs are pretty. They're also deadly, and I wish more people would mention this.

* which, nowadays, is any part of my body.

 

[Peace]

I've been carrying my iPhone around in my pocket almost every day since day one and it's never done that to me.

If it really concerns the OP I'll gladly take it.

 

[WillJS]

Here's an idea:

Flip the iPhone where the headphone port is facing the bottom of your pocket.

Mine's not.

May want to have that checked.

You must have some slender girlie fingers...
