iPhone 4 screws have changed

hello

i just bought a new iphone4 32 gig model yesterday and i went to replace the back panel with a new one and the screws have changed. they are no longer phillips head screws.

i replaced the back from an older iphone4 a few days ago and the new screws look to be a star and about 1/2 the size of the #00 phillips head screws. its the smallest screw head i have ever seen

any idea where i can find the driver to take them out? do you sell replacement screws so i can swap them put with phillips like the older iphone 4 phones have?

We have been aware of this for about two weeks, and are currently trying our hardest to find the right screwdriver that we can sell. We will make a post once we can find one that works.

As for the screws, we have only started seeing this only in Europe, where did you buy yours?
