Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Let the celebrations begin! Apple's long-awaited smart watch - dubbed the 'iWatch', but actually the Apple Watch - has arrived (sort of).

As the tech-obsessed examine what's inside of Apple's first step into wearable technology, the aesthetically-minded around the world will only be looking at the surface.

Apple has revealed the watch will come in a range of faces and straps, allowing users to customise their watches to their heart's content. Apple will also sell a smaller watch with different straps.

Some of the straps listed on Apple's website include: a link bracelt, a sport band, a leather loop, a classic buckle, and a Milanese loop.

There will be three different versions of the watch. A sports version is made for active use, and the 'Apple Watch Edition' is made using 18-carat gold. The watch will also come in stainless steel, silver aluminum, 'Space Black' stainless steel and 'Space Gray' aluminum.

The watch includes a range of digital faces, which include more incredible images like a face that shows users' positions on earth. Those faces can be customised, including changing colours. The faces can also pull information from apps including the calendar, stocks and weather.
