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.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

The company unveiled not one but three iPhones, all with upgraded cameras and a variety of new colours. They are called the iPhone 11, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, making them the first handset to finally get the "Pro" name that is present across Apple's line.
But the iPhone wasn't the only new device, with updates to the Apple Watch, its variety of online streaming services, and other products also revealed during the event.

Stan Ng comes on stage to share with us the next generation of Apple Watch.
We've got another video, this one involving a dancer.
Apple Watch Series 5 features an always-on retina display that "never sleeps".
What does this mean for battery life?
Ng says it's "extremely power efficient".
It has the same all-day, 18-hour battery life as its predecessor.
The always-on display will be useful for loads of situations, apparently, like working out. I hope you can turn the screen off when you sleep.
New safety features too, like international emergency calling.
Like the iPad case, the Apple Watch case is now made from 100 per cent recycled aluminium.
Apple Watch Series 5 will also be available in titanium and a new ceramic model. And of course, loads of new straps.
Series 5 starts at $399 and $499 for cellular models. Available for pre-order now, shipping 20 September.
"It truly is the most capable Apple Watch ever," Ng says.
