Why is pentalobe mandatory? Torx works at tiny scale just fine. And it's out of patent by now.

- brandall10 3y agoIME pentalobe is superior as far as wear to tooling without the sharp points. I've stripped a handful of smaller torx heads due to worn bits over the years. Can't recall ever stripping a pentalobe. I won't argue Apple came up with a new design for security purposes, at least initially. But that doesn't mean they didn't come up with a superior design for tiny bits at the same time.
