Apple tested everything but not some guy walking around with it in his front pocket for two weeks

Actually, they did. One of the things the tested for was being in pockets of tight jeans. . . and repeated sitting.

Plus, they were given to employees who were singled out because they were known to be hard on their phones for extended testing in real world conditions.
