| + | [* icon_note] A year ago we went out on a limb and added the Apple watch screw to our [product|IF145-299-1|64-bit toolkit]. Boy, what a good thing we did. |

| [* 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. |
