it's almost July 4th which means it's
that time of year again here at iFixit
time to liberate your phone with a free
liberation kit from your friends and
fellow freedom fighters here at iFixit
last year we gave away 1776 liberation
kits and we were out of those in a
matter of minutes
so this liberation week we're gonna
expand it to 15,000 kits for the iPhone
4 4 s 5 and this year we even have kits
for the new 5s and 5c oh and shipping is
free if you're not familiar with our
liberation kit and why you need one it's
pretty simple take a quick look at the
bottom of your iPhone those are
pentalobe screws a proprietary screw
developed by Apple that effectively
locked you out of your phone for us
that's like buying a car with the hood
welded shut our iPhone liberation kits
solve the problem by letting you replace
your pentalobe screws with a standard
Phillips screw making your iPhone easy
to open whenever you want which is
exactly how it should be this
transformation takes seconds but it
makes a world of difference I'll show
you first use the pentalobe driver to
remove two Apple issued screws then
replace them with the Phillips screws we
provide not only will this kit enable
you to easily open your phone but it
sends a message that you stand for easy
accessible and affordable repairs if you
can't fix it you don't own it now use
your liberation kit to reclaim your
right to repair a freedom suite
