![]() Apple actually started using tamper-resistant screws in its Macs years ago, but when it added Pentalobe screws to the iPhone 4, the media took notice, and there was a brief public flare-up (actual sample headline: “Apple iPhone 4 Uses ‘Evil,’ Tamper-Proof Screws”). Times have changed, and “security screws” have become increasingly common. And the only reason to have multiple Flat or Phillips head screwdrivers was to handle bigger or smaller screws. There was no concept - at least, for common consumer electronics - that average people shouldn’t be able to unscrew their gadgets and take them apart. Decades ago, every electronic device was sealed with one of two types of screws: a minus-shaped Flat/Slot head, or a plus-shaped Phillips head.
