"APPL"

That one extra letter would have put the title over the 80 char limit. Though "...device repairability", "...phone/laptop repairability" would have fit just fine with "Apple".
Or just use their US ticker symbol: AAPL
Duh, well, there is that. I got so wrapped around the axle on the unnecessary shortening that I completely missed the symbol typo on a stock I've traded probably at least monthly (and probably view daily) for the last fifteen years.
I did typo the stock symbol, trying to cram it all in. I was more unhappy shortening "scores" to "score".
Poor Appell Petroleum Corp (APPL) went out of business in 2016, probably because nobody could find their stock symbol to invest, since every search engine autocorrects it to AAPL...
