I’m pretty sure it was apple that developed a pentalobe torx variation to stop ppl opening the iPhone. I looks identical until your face is fogging it up.
Infuriating. One of the many reasons I will never, ever, own an Apple product again.
Besides, why pay full sticker for a 3 year old Samsung? That’s all the iPhone is.
Some of the ones in the graphic are probably security screws. Like I only see the H one with the two dots on things like public restroom stalls where they don’t want people with a flat object to be able to unscrew stuff.
Philips are designed the way they are so that they “cam out”. Meaning if too much force is applied to the screw, the driver will intentionally pop out to avoid damaging the tool or the fastener. Its a feature, not a flaw. A Robertson (square), torx, or hex will let you apply enough force until the screw or the driver fail catastrophically.

Robertson (square) is also great, and it’s as Canadian as bagged milk
Torx were basically invented because Henry Ford wanted to have exclusive use of the patent for robertsons and the Canadian didn’t want to do that.
Henry Ford was a terrible person for so many reasons, but this one really pisses me off.

Really not a fan of Hex (it just cams out way too easily) but Torx is like screwdriver orgasm. Philips just feels like intentionally bad design

Maximum ugga duggas!
The Robertson, being a Canadian invention, appropriately allows the “full send” method of applying force.
As an American who has only worked with Robertson once, it was the best thing ever. Just so easy to work with. Even better than torx.
Built my deck w/ squares & it was way faster than any other type of screws I’ve used before.
Which is why Philips are so great for drywall screws. They shouldn’t be used to anything else though…
