Here be dragons!

Zounds! What wizardry is this? TGDaily did use their eyes to call forth from the bottom end of the iPhone two screws which, by Hera’s eye, could be a mysterious portal into the innards of the iPhone, giving alchemists access to what may be called a replaceable battery by fools and the very portal to God’s head itself by the wise.

The guided tour focuses mainly on the AppStore and covers new features of the iPhone 2.0 software update. However, eagle-eyed users spotted very unusual “feature” revealed at the 1:52 mark of the longer video: The bottom of the handset shows the speaker and microphone as well as two visible screws.

Could these screws hold the secrets of the universe? Could they, when removed, open a gate to a dread realm? Are we, collectively, obsessing over screws? Isn’t there a war on?
