> iPad models beginning in 2020 also feature the hardware microphone disconnect. When an MFI compliant case (including those sold by Apple) is attached to the iPad and closed, the microphone is disconnected in hardware

does this mean Hey Siri won't work on an iPad with a closed cover?




That is precisely the behaviour I see on my iPad Pro from 2018


Doesn't MFI use software to do verification? If the presence of a MFI software command is what disables and enables the microphone, that sure sounds like software control.

Sure, maybe its software on a peripheral that controls it. But it's software never the less.


I expect in this case it's a matter of having magnets in the correct locations as specified by MFI.


Isn't "MFi" just their brand for licensed accessories?
