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.

Apple is about to hold its latest event, and it promises to be “Unleashed”.

Beyond putting the word central in its invitations, it has not said what it is planning to announce during the event.

Rumours suggest, however, that there will be at least one new Mac, as well as potentially other long-rumoured products such as updated AirPods.

Everything will be revealed, however, when the live stream begins at 10am local pacific time on Monday. That is 6pm in the UK.

While the time is the same as usual, the date is strange: Apple rarely holds events on Mondays. Its decision to do so might be an attempt to get out ahead of Google and Samsung launches to be held later this month, though it has not explained the scheduling.

There are a whole host of ways to watch the event live and as it happens.

Perhaps the most obvious is Apple’s devoted page on its website, which can be found here. When the time arrives, that will turn into a live stream, and until then it offers the option to add a reminder to your calendar.

Apple’s official live stream can also be watched on the Apple TV, through the devoted “Apple Events” app that should be visible on the home screen.

The easiest way to watch is probably YouTube, however. Since the site and its app are compatible with just about every device, there should be no problems streaming to whatever is easiest.

The video can be found here, on Apple’s channel, or below.

Clicking through to that page also offers the option to set a reminder, which should send a notification when the stream begins.
