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...

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.
