I have ordered (and received) the Tri-Point Y000 bits for the iPhone 7/7 Plus and I have found that they are too big. Has anyone had luck with these bits on the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus? Feeling like I wasted my money. What is needed is a Y0000 bit. Any chance that iFixit has these available? I cannot locate them in their tool list.
I’ve used the Y000 bit pretty extensively on the 7 Plus, and it’s the same bit that we used for all our guides and teardowns for both phones. It also works for the Watch, which has much smaller screws. I’m afraid we don’t make anything smaller! I will say that the tri-point screws sometimes require more pressure than I’m accustomed to, in order for the driver to bite. I think it’s because the heads are so shallow; the driver needs to be really snug and absolutely on-axis in order to get any traction on the screw head. I’d suggest giving it another whirl! On the off-chance you got some kind of defective bit (it’s very rare, but it happens), reach out to our customer service team for a replacement. Good luck!
i just got mine from this site cuss its seemed like it was better quality. works fine. cuss the chinese one that i used before was junk…. it just stripped lol
ifixit is superduper qua guides but they don’t manage the quality of the stuff they sell well it appears…
