Due failed display (backlight stayed forever off) I received a new device in exchange for the refurbished.. The new 750i in my hands had firmware 13.40 preloaded together with gps firmware 2.90 already preinstalled.

I can see, we have now at least 3 different types or "Baro Type"
Bosch BMP280, ST LPS22HH and Omron 2SMPB-02

Very astute observation!

I guess this is a sign of the global supply chain issues so many are experiencing right now....
