So you use your phone upside down so it slides in your pocket right side up? I've never seen anyone flip their phone around just so it's not upside down when it's in their pocket.
Got a tip for us?

Why is Headphone Jack on Bottom of iPhone 5?

Doesn't it also depend on which pocket? If I'm putting the phone in my pants or coat pocket, I tend to put it in upside down, but when putting it into my shirt pocket, it's more natural to stick it in right side up.
That would be correct, I didn't think about a shirt pocket. Then again that's not very secure, especially for the plus models.
Seems like the past week there have been a lot of old threads, brought back up.
If you insist...
Apple isn't likely changing their 3 year old design, with the possible exception of removing the headphone jack (apparently) and relying on the Lightning connector and Bluetooth instead, according to rumors.

But you can choose to use Bluetooth now, without them removing the option for other people...

It was originally on top, for the original iPhone and iPhone 3G. They switched to the bottom with the 4 I think. As others have pointed out, the iPod Touch had it on the bottom from the start.
It really doesn't make too much difference. It seems to be going away, if the rumors are true. Since I use Bluetooth, it won't be missed here!
