Saturday Digest. Here are all the most interesting things of the week that you might have missed.

Saturday mornings are perfect for leisurely reading the news collection for the past work week with a cup of invigorating coffee. Here is what we collected the most interesting things that users discussed on the Internet this week, and what we wrote about on the pages of iPhones.ru, in the format of a convenient information sheet for you.

Perhaps one of the most high-profile events of this week was the announcement of the trailer for the new GTA 6. We also watched with interest the surge in Western technology resources from the new iMac and MacBook with the M3 processor and argued about the unusual presented AI pin gadget, which, according to the creators, can a smartphone.

So, let’s talk about everything in more detail:

1. First reviews of iMac and MacBook with M3 processor

Leading Western tech resources shared their impressions of the new Apple all-in-one PCs and laptops. Of course, everyone noted the improved performance and speed, but also found some disadvantages.

For example, TechCrunch noticed that the iMac comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse that still has a Lightning connector for charging. Although we could already convert these accessories to use USB-C. The Six Colors resource complained about the inability to use the aimac as an external monitor for another computer.

Otherwise, there are no complaints, and those mentioned above are more like nitpicking. We look forward to updated iMacs in Russia in general, and in our editorial office in particular.

As for the MacBook Pro, this laptop is expected to run insanely fast, with virtually no heat or fan noise even in the busiest usage scenarios. Journalists liked the new black color of the case, but they couldn’t buy the basic version of MB Pro with M3 in the new color – it was saved only for more expensive models. with M3 Pro and M3 Max.

The conclusions are this: the new MacBooks render video very quickly and you can even play AAA games on them, but still most users require a 15-inch MacBook Air for the recommended work.

Projector instead of smartphone

American startup Humane, founded by two former Apple employees, has officially unveiled its first AI Pin device, designed to revolutionize the world of portable gadgets. A strong claim, but so far it’s hard to believe. They showed a short video with the operating principle of AI Pin: a mini-projector displays a picture on the user’s palm, the battery is attached to the projector using a magnet.

The gadget may appear on calls, messages, and translate text at first. In addition, AI Pin supports ChatGPT and can use generative AI to interact with the user through voices.

So far this does not look like a full replacement for smartphones, but we will wait for the start of sales, which is already planned for early 2024. The pocket projector costs $699, and is likely to have a clear shelf spot with a small number of tech geeks. Well, bloggers will buy it up to create content on their channels. A simple smartphone for people is still nicer.

2. GTA 6 will be shown in early December

Today on social network X (Twitter), Rockstar Games officially announced that it will release a trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI next month.

To help you understand the full appreciation of this event, here’s an interesting fact: this tweet about the trailer announcement became the most popular post in the history of Elon Musk’s social network, gaining 85,000,000 views and 1,000,000 likes in just 6 hours from the moment of publication.

Rockstar Games also addressed its players on the official website, where they thanked them for their support. Apparently, the new part of the cult franchise will be shown during The Game Awards, which is scheduled for December 7.

3. Various interesting things

📍In the middle of the week, several photos of an unusual truck appeared on the Internet. The following were unusual: the lack of a cabin for a person and domestic production. With these photos, KAMAZ teased an unmanned dump truck, which has already been dubbed “RoboCop,” designed for work in quarries.

There are no details about the news, but the manufacturer noted that the car has eight wheels and a cabin with a large set of sensors (thank you, cap, we can see it ourselves). Probably, the car is completely controlled by autopilot and does not require the presence of a driver.

They promise to give more information later, apparently, after testing RoboCop “in the fields.” It will be interesting to learn about this project, we will watch.

📍iPhone took first place in sales in Russia in rubles for 9 months of 2023.

The share of MTS’s revenue from iPhone sales during this period was 33%. Xiaomi is in second place with a share of 22% and Samsung is in third place with a share of 17%. In online stores in general, the iPhone brings in almost 40% of the revenue from smartphone sales. Admit it, have you already bought yourself a new 15 Pro or Pro Max?

📍 If you were looking for a normal backpack, pay attention to our material, which contains what elements the editors of iPhones.ru come with. Each is beautiful in its own way, some are completely urban, and some are semi-tourist.

Prices are also for every taste – come in, look, choose. We vouch for everyone, because we ourselves looked closely and chose our ideal option for a very long time.

📍 There is a game for iPhones called Wreckfest. This is a survival race with excellent car physics, a cheerful soundtrack and realistic damage to both your own car and the surrounding world.

This race is one of the best for mobile devices. And its price is appropriate: we bought it in the App Store for 899 rubles at one time.

So for several days now the price tag at Wreckfest has dropped to a ridiculous 50 rubles. If you haven’t added it to your collection yet, do so immediately. It is unknown what causes this attraction of unprecedented generosity and how long it will last.
