Apple’s iPhone enthusiasts can expect an exciting array of new features and design changes as the tech giant gears up to unveil its iPhone 15 lineup and the latest generation of smartwatches.

The much-anticipated event is scheduled for 10am on September 12 in California, which translates to 3am on September 13 AEST for eager fans in Australia.

The company has chosen the tagline ‘Wonderlust’ to capture the essence of its forthcoming innovations.

The upcoming iPhone 15 range will be divided into two categories: entry-level models and high-end models.

One of the most significant alterations will be the replacement of the lightning connector charging port with a USB-C port across all models, aligning with new regulations from the European Union.

Additionally, Apple plans to introduce updated AirPods featuring a USB-C charging port at the same event.

Among the entry-level models are expected to be the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 and the 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus, both benefiting from enhancements borrowed from the iPhone 14’s Pro models.

These enhancements include the A16 chip, Dynamic Island interface, and a high-resolution 48-megapixel rear camera.

Apple’s tradition of innovation is anticipated to shine through in the high-end models, the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro and the 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Pro Max.

PM Keir Starmer faces pressure over Epstein links and party unrest, with approval at 20% amid resignation calls.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is under intense political pressure as he risks becoming the first UK leader linked to the Epstein scandal. His approval rating has plummeted to just 20 percent, leaving him vulnerable to criticism from within Labour and raising fresh questions about his leadership.

The party has faced further turbulence following the resignation of Peter Mandelson, who stepped down amid revelations over his ambassadorial appointment and an ongoing police investigation. This latest development has intensified scrutiny on Labour’s senior figures and added to concerns about instability at the top.

Opposition from Labour lawmakers continues to grow, with increasing calls for Starmer to resign despite support from cabinet members. Many fear that a leadership challenge could deepen divisions within the party and create wider economic uncertainty.

Protesters clashed with police in Sydney, resulting in 27 arrests amid tensions over Israeli President Herzog’s visit.

Tensions flared in Sydney on Thursday as protesters clashed with police during a rally opposing the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Authorities arrested 27 people, including 10 accused of assaulting officers, after crowds attempted to breach barricades near the city.

Hundreds of police were deployed to enforce new protest restrictions, introduced following recent violent demonstrations, and pepper spray was used as officers tried to maintain order. Protesters waved Palestinian flags and carried signs condemning the ongoing conflict in Gaza, voicing anger over the timing of Mr Herzog’s visit.

The unrest highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding international politics and local security measures, with authorities balancing the right to protest against public safety concerns.

Australia’s major parties restore Coalition unity after three weeks, with Nationals frontbenchers rejoining shadow cabinet and ministers pledging commitment.

Australia’s Liberal and National parties have agreed to restore their historic Coalition partnership after a three-week split, marking their second reconciliation in under a year. The deal ensures stability ahead of upcoming political challenges.

Under the agreement, Nationals frontbenchers will return to the shadow cabinet by March 1. This move signals a return to unified leadership as both parties aim to present a stronger front in parliament.

As part of the compromise, three senators who broke party solidarity during a recent vote face a six-week suspension. All shadow ministers will also sign an agreement to uphold cabinet unity and prevent future splits.
