It was nice that for a hot minute Apple used the same accessories for iPad air and iPad pro so you could upgrade and NOT have to buy all new.  Guess that wasn't profitable enough for them.

That's a confusing comment. There is no choice with the Magic Keyboard for example because the camera orientation flipped from portrait to landscape. It has nothing to do with profits. They change the design to make the product better, not to sell more accessories. When I switched from the first generation Pro to the second generation Pro, I kept the same Magic Keyboard even though it wasn't a perfect fit, and I still use the same original Magic Keyboard to this day. I'm not at all mad that I need to purchase a new one because the changes are so dramatic and better. I was upset when they went from the first to the second generation because $350 is a lot of money and it was the very next year. The first generation keyboard wasn't a perfect fit because the second generation Pro was just a little bit thicker, but I decided it was close enough to not matter. I don't really understand all of the Conspiracy Theory stuff.
Edit for spelling error
Edit: When I'm talking about the different generations, I really mean the first generation that worked with the Magic Keyboard. I actually bought the Magic Keyboard for the 4th generation iPad Pro and it was the 5th generation iPad Pro that increased in thickness with a revised Magic Keyboard. I kept the original Magic Keyboard even though it wasn't a perfect fit for the 5th generation iPad Pro.

This would not be helpful to me as described because my HomePods are on a shelf over my head. I would prefer a screen in the front.

There is a massive night and day difference between FSD from 2018 and now. He is proving everyone wrong. All the experts and every major company said that it was impossible for his approach to work, and yet the cars drive by themselves with only minor mistakes here and there. The car still doesn’t understand hand signals yet. I just got back from a 3 ½ hour trip to Indianapolis today and there was a traffic cop waving cars through a red light. That is still one of the situations that the car can’t handle yet. But for the vast majority of situations, the car does fine. I still feel that this will be a finished product by the end of 2026 and most car manufacturers will get Tesla licenses for Honda to use FSD for example and Ford to license FSD, and so on. Tesla is just too far ahead for others to catch up. 

Your handle explains your brain.

What is that supposed to mean, exactly? Everything I said was accurate.

I very highly doubt that OLED will “revolutionize the visual experience” as the article states. The quality of the current iPad is already excellent. So it’s basically going to go from excellent to even more excellent? When the iPhone switched from LCD to OLED, I couldn’t tell any difference. The screen quality looked excellent before and after the switch. I would also say that OLED is a bridge technology until the “real” revolutionary screen technology comes out which is MicroLED.

Traffic lights = not a highway. See above...

Huh? You seem to be confusing FSD with Autopilot. FSD handles traffic lights and virtually all city driving situations. See above…
