This morning, Rogers has sent out an update saying it has restored services for most of its customers. Its service outage on Friday shut down millions of people's banking, transport, and even government access. According to police across the country, there were issues with getting emergency services via 911 to work. Canadians who needed internet access crowded cafes and public libraries that still had connectivity. Canada's border services agency reported the outage also affected its mobile app for incoming travellers. 

According to Rogers, its service is back online, and traffic volumes are returning to normal. However, it warns that there might still be a delay for full service. So, if you still aren't able to access certain services, this might be to blame.

Apple now sells matching MagSafe charging cable for M2 MacBook Air

If you wanted to get a matching MagSafe charging cable for your M2 MacBook Air, Apple has started selling this option in the four colours the new laptop comes in. This 2m USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable retails for $59. This is just the cable, though. If you need the power adapter, you'll have to buy that separately. The cable is made with a woven design to improve durability.

As with past MagSafe cables, these accessories are designed to be strong enough to resist unintended disconnections. But if you or someone else trips on the cord, it should release while keeping your MacBook safe on the desk. It has an LED that turns amber when the battery is charging and green when it is fully charged.

Apple is looking into charging issues the iPad mini 6 is running into after updating to the latest iPadOS 15.5 version. MacRumors got hold of a memo sent to authorized service providers stating it is aware of the situation. Some users report that the iPad mini isn't charging after the update. 

Apple advises service providers and retail staff to inform customers to restart the device as a temporary fix while looking into the problem. The company noted that hardware replacement of the unit or its battery doesn't solve the issue, which confirms it's a software issue. Apple is beta testing iPadOS 15.6, which could potentially fix the problem.
