You must have heard that Apple changed the type of screws (iphone 4 bottom had a +) that is used before. Tech Giant Apple now wants to keep out customers as well. The consumer tech pioneer is replacing screws on iPhone4s brought in for servicing with tamperproof screws to prevent anyone else from opening the device. The standard screws in iPhone 4’s are now being replaced with similar to Torx.
The purpose of the new screws is to keep people out of the phone and prevent users from replacing the battery. When a customer brings an iPhone 4 into a U.S. Apple store for repair, staffers will swap out commonly used Phillips screws, with which the device is shipped, and replace them with so-called Pentalobe screws, which aren't commercially available.
A screw drive is the system used to turn a screw. At a minimum, it is a feature on the screw that allows for it to be turned.
