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.Apple will live stream the release of new products including the iPhone, it has confirmed.
Soon after it sent out invitations to the event – which will happen on 12 September, in California – the company confirmed that it will also host video of the event for people to watch at home.
The event will play host to the launch of a range of products. As well as the almost certain release of the iPhone, Apple is expected to update or launch new iPads, computers and accessories.
It was once not clear that Apple would stream its launches, with some remaining closed to the public until videos were posted after. But it has lately taken to providing live coverage of almost all its major public events.
The only exception was March's education event, where it showed off an updated iPad and other products. That was held at a school away from Apple's campus, which may have been the reason for the strange decision.
This time around, the launch will be held in the Steve Jobs Theater at its Cupertino campus. That building has been especially designed for such launches, including the cameras and other equipment to make sure they can be shown to the vast number of people watching around the world.
The stream will eventually be available on Apple's special website. For now, there is very little there, beyond the time, date and the option to add the event to your calendar.
When the actual live stream arrives, it's likely that Apple will make it available to just about everyone on most platforms, including the Apple TV. It once banned Windows computers from being able to watch its live videos, but new technologies have bridged that divide and even PCs can now take part in the streams.
