I think you mean you couldn't care less.

Just to nitpick, the poster's statement is technically correct. Its meaning is "I could care less than I already do." If the observer only cares 1% about the situation, they could still care less, say 0.5% for the situation. Nitpicking aside, "I couldn't care less" certainly implies that there's no lower for one to go nor any amount less to be cared...

I think you mean you couldn't care less.
Unfortunately, this usage is valid now according to the dictionary, even though grammatically and pedantically it's false.

Oh, I got my iPhone the first day. Year and a half later, still working perfectly, even after being dropped several times and has not seen the inside of a case for well over a year.

Blackberries have a million moving parts, and an iPhone has about 4. The BB's also are squishy and they don't take falls well.
