Apple has launched its new iPhone 15 Series today and for the first time the company has given a USB C charging port in it.

The new lineup includes iPhone 15 starting at US$799 and iPhone 15 Plus starting at US$899.

Apple chose not to raise prices during a tough period globally for smartphone sales. For the Pro series, prices start at US$999 and the Pro Max at US$1,199, the same prices as last year for the same levels of storage, available starting Sept. 22.

Both the Pro and other iPhone 15 models will have a brighter display and a 48-megapixel camera as well as 100 per cent recycled cobalt in their batteries.

Apple said the iPhone 15’s satellite connectivity can now be used to summon roadside assistance.

Apple said the iPhone 15 Pro Max – the largest phone the company makes – will have a new camera lens with a longer optical zoom than previous models.

Company also said that the new USB-C connector on iPhone 15 Pro models will allow videographers to record high-quality video directly to an external hard drive.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 has new features for cycling and diving and what Apple said is the brightest screen it has ever made. The Series 9 will start at US$399 and the Ultra 2 watch will start at US$799 and be available Sept. 22.

CBSA reports backlog of long-standing removal warrants as removals reach record levels

The Canada Border Services Agency says it is removing more people from the country than ever before, yet more than 10,000 active removal warrants have remained open for over a year. Newly released agency statistics show the CBSA is currently tracking about 33,000 outstanding warrants linked to individuals who did not comply with a removal order. Appearing before parliamentarians, CBSA vice-president Aaron McCrorie said more than 22,000 people have been removed from Canada over the past 12 months. He noted that while most individuals follow the instructions in a removal order, warrants are issu

Canada’s November jobs report to offer final economic signal ahead of next Bank of Canada rate decision

Statistics Canada is expected to release its November employment report this morning, providing the last major economic indicator before the Bank of Canada delivers its final interest rate decision of the year next week. Economists say the data will help shape expectations about whether the central bank sees enough evidence of a cooling economy to justify future rate cuts. A survey of economists conducted by Reuters suggested the national unemployment rate likely rose to seven per cent in November, with a modest loss of about 5,000 jobs. Analysts at Royal Bank, however, anticipate the jobless
