Sunday digest. Here are all the most interesting things of the week that you might have missed.

On your day off, I suggest you remember what interesting and important things happened over the past work week in order to keep abreast of what is happening in the world of gadgets and technology, and also discuss this news with friends.

Below we have collected all the most interesting things over the past six days, what was written about and discussed on the pages of iPhones.ru.

This week the series The Boy’s Word was discussed on the Internet, and we figured out the translation of the main song from this film project. They told how they found out information about a person who only knew his phone number, remembered the brilliant Apple designer and his work, were surprised by the rise in prices for iCloud and much more.

Read about this in our digest:

1. Which iPad to get in 2023. Buyer’s Guide

If with iPhones everything is more or less clear, then in the case of tablets everything is a little more difficult. Despite the fact that Apple did not show a single new iPad in 2023, there are as many as six current revisions of this device on the market.

In short, for the first time in many years we recommend that you avoid buying an iPad before the New Year holidays. Next year we will see several new models at once, and everything current will become cheaper. Some devices have not been updated at all since 2021, which costs more than at the start of sales.

But if you really want to, read the detailed guide on the current models. We tried to tell everything as informatively and without embellishment as possible.

2. How to pay via NFC on iPhone in Russia

Personally, I had already forgotten that once upon a time you could pay for a purchase simply by bringing your iPhone to the payment terminal. However, you can still do this if you have the SBPay app.

They told us what this application is and how it works. Yes, it’s not the same as Wallet, but if you really miss the opportunity, you can make a purchase using your iPhone contactless – this instruction is for you. Almost all banks are supported, setup is easy, but there are some disadvantages.

3. Mahәbbәt piyalasyn atasyn – karasyn

You can condemn domestic film projects, but the facts are inexorable. The series “The Boy’s Word. Blood on the Asphalt” literally destroyed all the charts, gaining real popular love.

And this is not surprising, because almost all people 30 and older still saw the heyday of youth gangs, the street slang of that time and the situations that are shown in the series. You can remember those times with a little bit of nostalgia, but I personally wouldn’t want to go back to those troubled days.

In each episode you can hear a track in the Tatar language called Piyala. It became interesting what the poet of the musical duo AIGEL was talking about, so we translated the text and shared it with you. (Spoiler: the text is so-so, nothing informative).

Topic: Translation and lyrics of Piyala’s song from AIGEL, which is included in the world Apple Music charts. What is it about?

4. From the design of toilets and combs to MacBooks and iPhones. Than Jony Ive carefully

It seems that many have begun to forget this lucky man, who stood at the origins of the design of our Apple gadgets. Therefore, we decided to remember the creative path of Jonathan Quince, and in the process we surprised ourselves.

For example, few people know that Jony Ive created the design of toilets and combs.

We have collected the most interesting moments of the designer’s creative life, it’s very interesting. Be sure to read it.

5. Seven ways to get through a person by phone number

We have collected all the current ways to find out everything about a person by phone number, including his full name, social media accounts and other digital traces. Study, be vigilant.

In the modern world, information practically does not create any problems. Knowing the phone number, you can try to kill a person on the Internet, while all information is in the public domain. There is no need to do any tricky manipulations.

See for yourself.

6. Is PlayStation Vita still top? Apparently yes

Today on the market of portable consoles there are offers for every taste and budget: Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch and other devices with full Windows that can be used in any games. So why does the PS Vita confidently take its place next to powerful devices?

There are reasons for this, from the nice OLED screen to the exclusive games you won’t find on any other portable console. We talked about these subtleties, perhaps this will convince you to give yourself an excellent entertainment item for the holidays for the right amount of money.

7. Various interesting things

📍 The first GTA VI trailer has been released, we are returning to Vice City. There are no comments here, everything is very beautiful and interesting. A huge city awaits us, mainly two heroes and many different types of transport, from bicycles to dry cargo ships.

The game will be released in 2025 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X.

📍 How to install Sber, SBOL and Tinkoff applications on iPhone right now. All types of work. We already manage to regularly remove some applications from the Russian App Store, and bank applications and connections with them often disappear.

Therefore, we made a complete guide on how to return the necessary applications to your iPhone.

📍In Russia, the iCloud tariff for 12 TB has risen sharply. Immediately for 10 thousand.

Apple has changed the price of the most expensive iCloud subscription in Russia. The price for 12 TB has increased by 10 thousand rubles and now costs 16,990 rubles. Initially it cost 6990 rubles per month.

What this is connected with is unknown. In the US and Europe prices remained unchanged.

📍 Complete guide to holidays in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. Spent 6 days and taught the best places.

Therefore, there are many reasons to take a look at Tbilisi. At the very least, I remember fabulous old streets, breathtaking views from the mountains, cozy cafes, a giant new cathedral, flea markets with truly rare things.

I’ll make a reservation right away: I didn’t go outside the city, it limited its borders, the ranks of nature, it was possible and even possible to go. But for the first time it was enough, since I was traveling with a conversation about dental treatment.

📍 I went to the premiere of “Yolki 10” and am ready to share the pain of watching this skit. As before, the film is a set of short stories, already familiar with the “theory of six handshakes.”

It is unknown whether this film brings happiness to anyone. This series has not lived up to expectations for a long time, and viewers remain dissatisfied. A legitimate question arises: why? Why finish off such a dead franchise if it no longer brings commercial success, receives low ratings and justified criticism? A rhetorical question.

📍 A check signed by Steve Jobs was sold at RR Auction for $46,063.

On July 23, 1976, Jobs bought something from RadioShack and wrote a check for $4.01. This happened just four months after Apple was founded. And now, after so many years, this check was found by a collector, the former owner of the piece of paper became a little richer. We like these kinds of stories.

That’s what this week was like. Enjoy your holiday and see you in the next Sunday digest.
