It’s Saturday outside, which means it’s time to end the leading week with a news digest. All the most interesting things that users discussed on the Internet this week, and what we wrote about on the pages of iPhones.ru, have been collected in the format of a convenient information sheet for you.
Perhaps the most important event was the presentation of the new Apple product, which took place on the night of October 30-31. Missed it? It’s okay – below you will not find links to our materials dedicated to this event. But besides this, there were many more interesting things over the past days.
So here’s what happened between October 30 and November 3:
1. Mobile gaming has reached a new level
At the beginning of the week, the game Resident Evil Village was released on the App Store, designed exclusively for the latest generation devices – iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The trick is that this is not an adapted version for mobile devices, but a full-fledged port of “adult” game consoles with all the beautiful shadow movements.
We managed to play it on the iPhone 15 Pro and describe our impressions (spoiler: the impressions are far from “WOW”).
However, if you have the latest iPhone and want all the power of the new A17 Pro processor, then get ready 1140 rubles (+715 rubles for DLC), and when you first start the game, wait for another 16 GB of additional files to be downloaded. Here is a link to the game on the App Store.
Yes, a little later I noticed that Resident Evil Village can be run on iPhones of previous generations, for example, on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. We figured out how to do this and prepared a detailed procedure for you.
2. Apple’s sudden night presentation
At three o’clock in the morning on October 31, Moscow time, Apple held an online presentation at which it demonstrated several new devices. Thus, a new line of M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max processors, a MacBook Pro with a screen diagonal of 14 and 16 inches on new processors and an iMac on the M3 processor saw the light.

Later, the MagSafe/USB-C cable in the new Space Black color appeared in the assortment of the Apple online store so that you can assemble a set “macbook pro + charger» in a single color scheme.
The cost of the most sophisticated MacBook Pro 16″ with an M3 Max processor is delivered separately: for buyers in the USA it will cost $7,200, which when translated into our money will cost 668 thousand rubles.

3. Helpful instructions
📍 If you have the latest “beta” of the Apple mobile operating system installed, follow the procedure on how to install an application bypassing the App Store.
Yes, this is not a mistake. In iOS 17.1. It is now possible to install applications without using the App Store. To do this, you need a computer and a few minutes of free time, but the very fact that such an opportunity has arisen is in itself a great event.
📍 Many Mac owners are familiar with the problem when the device stops seeing the familiar Wi-Fi network. Moreover, this can be said literally out of the blue. Sometimes a reboot helps, and sometimes the problem remains or returns after a while.
Unlike iOS, macOS doesn’t have one way to reset network settings to solve this problem. So keep an eye on the instructions on how to reset network settings in macOS to fix Wi-Fi problems.
4. Various interesting things
📍From experience, in the beta version of iOS 17.2 it is impossible to top up your Apple ID balance, even with an operator account.
It is not known for sure whether this is a serious version of the operating system or new restrictions from Apple for Russia. If possible, do not install this update if you do not want to lose your subscriptions and the ability to purchase crystals in your favorite game.
📍 A reader in the “Party” section shared updated instructions for setting up KinoPub after another blocking of this service. If you don’t know what it is, then you don’t need it, read on.
For the rest, find out how to set up KinoPub on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. New working way
📍At the end of the week, a new song by The Beatles appeared on streaming services. Interestingly, the track is based on a demo that the late John Lennon recorded back in 1978. The recording itself was in very low quality, but director Peter Jackson managed, with the help of artificial intelligence, to greatly enhance the vocals due to excess noise.
So now you can listen to the composition “Now and Then”, a south-eastern song using neural networks, on YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify, if you are not from Russia. Our track is available on VK. Enjoy.
That’s what this week was like. There are three whole days of weekend ahead, so relax, have fun and read iPhones.ru. See you in the next Saturday digest.
