I've never thought of that. vs I never thought of that.

Both phrases are correct and commonly used in English. The only difference is the contraction 'I've' in the first phrase. The contraction 'I've' is a shortened form of 'I have,' while the second phrase uses the simple past tense 'I never thought.' Both convey the same meaning, but the first phrase may sound slightly more informal.
