Resident Evil Village works on older “unsupported“ iPhones

Turns out you don’t need the A17 Pro chip on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max to run Resident Evil Village, as thanks to the hidden sideloading feature in iOS 17.1, it’s possible to install the game on older iPhones. But just how bad is it? We try running it on the iPhone 12 Pro to find out. Guide on sideloading in iOS 17.1: As it turns out, the only barrier to installing is the App Store checking what device you’re using, however if you download the app package using ipatool and sideload it over iOS 17.1’s AirDrop installation method, it bypasses the App Store check and will work on older devices.
