Here’s what happened in tech yesterday, and what’s coming today.

1. Apple’s event is today, and the M6 Macs came first

Apple’s “Pro and Tell” event starts at 1 p.m. ET. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple has discussed US$2,899 for a 14-inch touchscreen MacBook Pro and at least US$3,399 for a 16-inch, iPhone in Canada reports. That’s about $4,066 and $4,767 CAD at today’s exchange rate, if Apple prices it that way here. Apple got a head start Tuesday with an M6 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac, from $2,799 and $2,099 in Canada.

Why it matters: Canadian prices land with the announcement. We’ll have them live from 1 p.m. ET.

2. Bell sells 49.9% of its towers to La Caisse

La Caisse will pay $2.45 billion for just under half of a new company that will own more than 5,000 Bell tower sites. Bell keeps control, its spectrum and its network equipment, and uses the cash to pay down debt. Read the full story

Why it matters: Telus did the same deal last year. Whether smaller carriers get onto these towers is the part to watch.

3. Canada’s cyber agency warns about AI-run attacks

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security published a bulletin on a group Microsoft calls Storm-0940, which has used an AI agent framework against hundreds of organizations. In some cases it went from picking a target to privileged access to cloud systems in under three hours. Humans still choose the targets, but much of the work in between is automated. Read the full story

Why it matters: Its advice is old-fashioned: phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication, prompt patching, and a plan for incidents that unfold in hours, not days.

4. The privacy commissioner will investigate the Crime Stoppers breach

Privacy Commissioner Philippe Dufresne is investigating Navigate360, the company that runs the tip platform used by Crime Stoppers chapters. It will look at whether the company’s security met federal privacy law. Crime Stoppers itself is a not-for-profit, which that law generally doesn’t cover. More than 1.5 million tips were affected, according to a CBC investigation, as we reported.

Why it matters: Anonymous tips only work if people trust they’ll stay anonymous.

5. A Canadian-dollar stablecoin clears a key hurdle

The Ontario Securities Commission has approved the prospectus for Calgary-based Loon’s CADC, a token backed one-to-one by Canadian dollars held in trust at ATB Financial, BetaKit reports. There’s no launch date yet. Stablecorp’s QCAD received similar approval last year.

Why it matters: It comes days after Ottawa proposed its stablecoin rules, so more regulated CAD tokens are likely on the way.

6. Fido’s $5 autopay discount now needs a bank account

Fido’s $5-a-month automatic payment discount now applies only if you pay by pre-authorized bank debit or a Rogers Bank credit card. Existing customers have until Nov. 20 to switch, iPhone in Canada reports. Rogers made the same change for mobile customers in September.

Why it matters: That’s $60 a year per line if you keep paying by Visa or Mastercard, before the 1.6% card fee Rogers and Fido add in January.

One more thing: GTA 6 is reportedly a 210 GB download, and in Canada even the boxed copy is just a code. At 50 Mbps, that’s more than nine hours. Here’s how long it takes on your connection.
