When I use discord instead of using the nicer mics in the iPad Pro it uses the poo poo headphone mic and I’d like to use the headphones for sound but the internal iPad mic if possible

So, I have a Pro that's about three years old, and I'd really like to replace the battery, but would prefer not to mail it anywhere and have it be in shipping for who knows how long. Is going to an Apple Store with an appointment my best bet, or is this something the local Best Buy or something can do for me reliably? (The nearest Apple Store is two and a half hours away and I'd have to plan a weekend trip.)

(The nearest Apple Store is two and a half hours away and I'd have to plan a weekend trip.) Bestbuy is an authorized apple repair center now but I’m betting they’d have to send it off to apple as well. TBH though I’m not even sure if you took it to an apple store if they’d have the battery in stock so they’d have to send it off as well. You probably won’t get a same day turn around no matter what you do but Best Buy is your best bet imo.

Download the Apple Support app. You should be able to tap on your iPad (assuming it’s on the same Apple ID) and it’ll give you options for where to bring it in. I just did this for a broken phone.

I have a Shure MV88 microphone that I use with my iPhone for video calls, IG casts, etc. and it's great. I am wanting to use my iPad Pro (2018 model iirc) for video calls and wanted to use the Shure mic for better sound quality, but the iPad isn't recognizing it at all. Are there problems using microphones with iPads? I purchased a new USB mini to USB C cable and it works fine otherwise, so that's not the problem. Am I missing some kind of permission in the setting somewhere?

Unless there's a USB-C to Lightning adapter I'm not aware of, this doesn't seem like it should be possible.

Is there a way to change which results come up first when you hit cmd-space and type a term? I almost always use this to launch apps rather than finding the icon and I’m always scrolling through email, web, and other results before I get to the app that matches the term I entered. I could have sworn this used to show apps first but maybe I’m just making things up. I don’t know if this is possible or easy to do, but if it is I just can’t seem to remember the term to search for to get the help I need.

AFAIK the results should be use based. Like if I start with P or whatever the app I use the most comes up first.

Hmm, I was hoping for the same, but I launch my brokerage app every other day and it still comes up last in the list, under email results and web results for <brokerage name>.

Well not a great loss since I have mostly used the mic with my iPhone but it's a shame I can't use it with the ipad- it would have really made things easier for doing Instagram live casts while doing painting demos.

Don’t you guys have Siri app suggestions at the top? This is on my iPhone but I’m pretty sure it’s the same way on my iPad (I use Alfred on my Mac so I’m not sure there).

Yes, it's odd, I definitely have app suggestions on but this particular app is always superseded by web results and emails  In short, no idea what the hell is going on.

Seems like my brokerage app is literally the only one that doesn't show up on App suggestions so I'll just have to live with it. Literally spent the last five minutes trying to search for all the apps on my iPad and that's the only one that I seems to do it. Ah well, if that's the worst thing to happen to me in 2021 I'll take it

You might have accidentally disabled it at some point. Also this is how you disable apps from showing up in App Suggestions, in case you never want it to suggest your anime app or whatever.

My iPad cracked screen was replaced in-store a few months ago, but to be fair I did have to wait for a unit to be mailed in to the store since they were out of replacements. Not sure if that counters your second point or not, but just anecdotal experience here. Could be region too. We weren't under as strict a lockdown at the time.

Lack of actual service definitely doesn’t surprise me. With all the permutations of things that can go wrong it’s probably much easier to just stock replacements, swap those out, then send the old ones back for actual refurb duty.

I've got the iPad 8th Gen and I'm thinking of upgrading to the iPad Air 4 for the better screen and slightly bigger size for taking notes and reading books. I'd be using it for art via Procreate, class notes via GoodNotes, class books via VitalSource, and general YouTube/Plex/D+/Netflix/etc. vids. Should I grab that or wait for the new Pros and go from there? Apple is, apparently, not accepting trade-ins on the 2020 iPads though so who knows.

Thanks for the responses, I'll go with the iPad Air over the Pro..but now I'm wondering if I should just keep the 8th gen instead. It does have the non-laminated display and display size isn't as large as the almost 11 inch Air.

The Magic Keyboard is $100 everywhere... is it REALLY needed? I got an iPad Air coming next week and I'm wondering if I should pick up the case now or just go for https://www.amazon.com/ESR-Trifold-iPad-Air-2020/dp/B08L6N3M4L/ or maybe a bumper + smart folio combo like on my iPad 8th Gen? Anyone used ESR's trifold cases?
