    I'm currently out of States at the moment so I preferred buying from eBay (or better locally if I exactly know which screwdriver)..

    From the looks of it, doesn't both MBA and iPhone have 5-star pentalobe screws?

    Is this correct? If so, I would just need to buy a single 5-star pentalobe screwdriver?

    there are a couple sizes (or more) of the pentalobe and Apple has used more than 1 size... I cannot recall what model has what size.
