You need a lot more effort. For example, an iPhone repair kit comes with 3 different screwdrivers. One of mine didn't work well, so I have up and paid $10 to someone with a better screwdriver. Do they NEED 3 different screws?

Also see Louis Rossman, since he actually runs a repair shop, he has complaints about apples repair program

I don’t doubt that iPhones are harder to repair than they need to be. What I seriously doubt is that other major phone manufacturers are better about building with repairability and longevity in mind. (Remember, the beginning of this comment thread is claiming iPhones are especially disposable.)
