iPhone 5s Pentalobe Screws Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This guide will illustrate how to use your snazzy new iPhone 5s Liberation Kit to replace your iPhone 5s Pentalobe screws with good ol' standard Phillips screws. Phillips drivers are much more readily available, and the screws are less likely to strip, making all of your future repairs and modifications much easier and more accessible.
