Apple offers repair program for defective iPad Air screens

It seems some third-generation Apple iPad Air tablets have some issues with its displays suddenly going dead. So, the company is offering a new repair program for tablets manufactured between March 2019 and October 2019. Apple said screens on a "limited number" of iPad Airs briefly flash or flicker before permanently going black. The company didn't elaborate on what's causing the issue, though.

If your device has experienced this problem, you can take it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Store, or you can contact Apple Support if you want to mail it in. If eligible, the repair will be free of charge. But you can only have it repaired in the country you purchased it and within two years after its first retail sale.

Google Search can now direct you to YouTube Music when you look for albums

YouTube Music is slowly getting more and more features to entice more people to use the service. And now, when you look for albums on Google, one of the suggested options to listen to said music will include this streaming service. It won't play the tracks immediately, but you will be taken to its listing or the mobile app if you're on your phone. It joins the likes of Spotify, Deezer, and Play Music. However, this option doesn't seem to be available for specific tracks or artists yet. We're hoping YouTube Music fixes this oversight soon.

Google Assistant to pull John Legend's voice on March 23

For a limited time, Google enlisted the help of celebrities like John Legend for Assistant. But now, the musician's voice will be taken off the service on March 23, almost a year since it first became available. Legend's voice can only answer a select number of queries, but if you're a fan, this might be a fun way to "talk" to the celebrity. His voice can respond to the questions like the weather forecast as well as more specific questions like asking him to sing happy birthday for you or letting you know his favourite type of music. If you want to check the feature out before it disappears, just say, "Hey Google, talk like a legend."
