Apple uses Torx screws, as do several other products.

Since when? They used Pentalobe on just about everything the last decade.

Though it's gotten easier to get pentalobe screwdrivers, albeit made of Chinesium.

Apple products often use pentalobe only for the outer casing, and standard torx for all the interior screws.
