Apple is switching to a new kind of screw across its product lines, claims iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens. The company is specifically said to be migrating to a special "Pentalobe" screw, for instance replacing the Phillips screws used in earlier shipments of the iPhone 4. This creates a serious problem, Wiens suggests, as the screwdrivers needed to remove Pentalobes are not easy to buy, effectively blocking people from doing their own repairs or having a third-party company handle it.
