?Apple is switching to a new type of tamper-resistant screw. This is not a

Gonna make a screw driver.

Small dividing head, ball nosed end mill, and some drill rod.

T&C grinder, indexer, and some drill blank. I think a
triangular shape might work.

Any other ideas?

sooo... unless you have a burning desire^H^H^H^Hneed to open up your
iPhone or whatever _now_ , waiting would seem to be a reasonable thing
to do.
