Apple 'Screws' iPhone 4 Users

[SYNACK]

The non user servicable iPhone 4 was apparently to easy too get past yourself and was rudely cheating Apple of additional revenue. To this end they have pantented a new type of security screw. They will helpfully upgrade the original Apple cheating phillips screws if you take your phone into an Apple store for any reason. Its just that kind of concern for/about their users that really shows you what kind of company Apple really is.

The phone wasn't released with that screw, they are replacing them with it when you take them in for repair or service etc... And new ones in Japan have been seen with it too.
