Clothing is adapting to technology, with major fashion retailers announcing that they will increase the size of their pockets to match the increasing size of your smartphone.
This move was no doubt prompted by the iPhone 6 Plus bendgate controversy which saw consumers complain that their iPhones had contorted in their cramped front pocket.
There are, however, numerous smartphone models on the market that you’d struggle fit in the front of your jeans.
So, who are the retailers bending over backwards for the phablet craze?
There’s Uniqlo, who told Quartz: “We are having conversation currently with the product development team regarding technology overall, and how our clothes can provide compatibility from a user perspective. Jean pockets is one of those conversations.”
American Eagle said their men’s pockets already accommodate larger smartphones, and that they are considered extending that feature to women’s as well.
Levi’s told Mashable: “Without being iPhone 6-specific, our mantra, like [Steve Jobs’], will always be to design products that make people’s lives a little better.”
