Losing Battle

Apple is screwing their customers again. This time literary - there is new screw head called “Pentalobe” that is slowly working it’s way in Apple products.

Current effect is that nobody can open iPhone without risking damage to screw but I wonder what net effect will be. There are already products that enable you to replace that “secure” screw with normal Phillips one. I wonder how long it will take for everybody to get proper pentalobe screwdriver. A week? A month?
