It’s called pilot testing new features. You need real world results but you don’t want to release to everyone yet. My company does that internally with many ERP feature upgrades. 

"pilot testing" a feature on the #1 video conferencing app used by millions of people for business and students for school, during a pandemic?  Hardly...

I’m guessing most of those HP AIOs are sold to businesses, offices, etc.… I don’t know a single person who owns one of those.

You might check out consumer stores like BestBuy.  Just because you don't know anyone with an HP AIO is not a barometer of HP's target market.

I don’t understand which choice to make in privacy to protect my data from advertisers. Can someone tell me which choice is the private one please?

With the option in Privacy/Tracking turned OFF, no apps will be allowed to track you and won't ask.
With the option turned on, apps that track you will ask your permission.

That's how it's supposed to work, yet I haven't found an app that has asked me yet.

Bad timing for Chipolo.  Without pricing or the ability to pre-order NOW from Chipolo, that leaves the market open for people to buy the real deal AirTag.  

If I were them, I would immediately make the Chipolo One Spot pricing (hopefully less than an Airtag) and special pre-release discounts available now to entice AirTag buyers away from Apple.

What does Chipolo have over an AirTag (tldr, you know...)

Just sell the keyboard along with your old iPad Pro. 

You mean "just lose more money"?  Can't sell my MK for what I paid, so I lose money there.  Then have to buy the new MK at full price.  

It's bad enough paying the ridiculous prices for the iPad Pro.

I disagree. There are many instances where add-on hardware doesn’t work well or at all with the next version of something. Take cars for example, you get the accessories that fit that year and model, you don’t take it out when you want to sell it to use in the following year’s model. When RAM and storage was upgradable in Mac you might be able to take it to the next one, but you might not. 

I’m sure you got use out of your iPad Pro and keyboard, wrote articles or whatever to generate money, so I can hardly agree that you are losing money. No one is forcing anyone to upgrade to the latest iPad Pro. I’m sure your device will work just fine tomorrow as it does today. I’m still using an iPad mini 2 and a MacBook Pro retina 2014. They’re old, but still work. 

Sorry you feel burned but don’t assume that others feel the same way. Like someone else said they is most likely an engineering reason why they are not compatible. I am quite certain that an iPad Pro with the keyboard will sell much better and higher premium than one without. Or do what many do, use your device longer until you have the money to get the new ones. 

But I never expect being able to install my add-on’s on my next device if the do, bonus, but don’t expect commoditized components from a premium product. Pro means getting the best and leaving behind the rest, including keyboards from older models. 

Are you confusing me with the author of this article? 

I merely was pointing out that selling the 1 year old MK would incur additional loss (which is entirely true as no one would buy a used MK at full price) and you've generated an entire profile about me, which is actually quite inaccurate.  The fact is, you know nothing about me, what I do, or how I feel.  Hint:  I have no plans to buy the new iPad Pro.
