| [* black] Inside we find an army of ''courageous ''[product|IF145-312-1|Tri-point|new_window=true] screws guarding the cable bracket that covers the battery connector and two of the display cables. | |
| [* black] A second platoon of Tri-points secure the bracket for the long and springy upper component display cable. | |
| [* icon_note] Tri-point screws are uncommon. While you could make the argument that tri-point screws are less likely to strip, we assume if it was a choice of mechanical advantage, we'd see them throughout iDevices. It's pretty clear that they are here to simply hinder the two most common user repairs: battery and screen replacements. | |
| + | [* black] We dispatch our own ~~weaponry~~ screwdriver and force the bracket to surrender so we can continue our mission into the heart of the iPhone 7 Plus. |
