Technology blogs have tried to help. Dozens of videos have appeared on YouTube offering expert tests of iPhones slipping in and out of random pockets. (No, I’m not kidding.) A number of downloadable guides allow users to print out a fake iPhone 6 and 6 Plus to see if they will fit in your clothing. (Again, I’m not kidding.) It won’t be long before a Silicon Valley start-up gets $10 million in funding for an app that tells people which iPhones will fit in which jeans. (This time I am kidding — I hope.)

While it’s easy to joke about this being a non-problem, this is actually a bit of a real issue, given that the smartphone is arguably the most important gadget in our lives today, and one that is usually just inches away from us.

Among gadget reviewers, women seemed to have the most trouble with the new iPhones. Lauren Goode of Re/code said the larger model was too big to hold in her hands or wear on her arm while exercising. My colleague Molly Wood, a columnist for The New York Times, told me that the iPhone 6 Plus won’t fit into her purse. And Abby Johnston of Bustle noted that because women’s jean pockets are smaller than men’s, either pockets have to get bigger, or phones smaller.

But don’t expect either of those to change anytime soon. I called around to dozens of jean makers and designers, and heard a lot of noes when asked if companies planned to change the style or aesthetic of their clothing to accommodate bigger phones.

“Our skinny-jean pockets are too small for the new iPhone,” said Katrina Klein, denim director for Rag & Bone, adding that she has no plans to change that. “We expect people to carry their larger phones in bags and purses.”
