      Yes, Apple, a company founded in 1976, invented torx in 1967.

      You may be thinking of Apple’s Pentalobe screws, which are inferior to torx and have no real business existing.

      Literally no part of your statement is true.

      Are you thinking of pentalobe screws? Which also do not have a security variation like you describe? Also Apple made no such claims about being the best force distributor or anything like that. They were very upfront and blatant about it being an anti-repair move and nothing else.
