An Apple product manager just fainted at the thought of a user taking a screwdriver to an iPhone.


not if they manage to find a screw head that can only be opened by a clean, minimalist, proprietary, expensive Apple screwdriver


You joke but...

At first it looks like a normal torx head, but then you realize it has 5 lobes instead of 6. Apple used these on early iPhone models when you actually could open them with this proprietary screwdriver.


I honestly had no idea that Apple had moved on from the Pentalobe.
