- New iPhone 5 will have Non-Removable Screws-NOT - not all iPhone rumors can be true. In fact, a Swedish design firm "Day 4", created a screwy rumor about a kind of screw. They sketched out a screw in a 3D program, a very strange screw where the head was neither star, tracks, pentalobe or whatever, but a unique very impractical form. They rendered the image, put it in an email, sent it to themselves, took a picture of the screen with the e-mail and anonymously uploaded the image to the forum Reddit with the text ”A friend took a photo a while ago at that fruit company, they are obviously even creating their own screws. ” In less than ten hours it showed up at Cult of Mac reporting that the next iPhone would have a non-removable screw. Then it went to Yahoo, Wired and MacWorld. The further away the rumor was from the source the more it was perceived as true.
