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 host its biggest event of the year. And it wants you to watch along.

The company is making it easier than ever to follow live this year, with a variety of new ways to stream.

It hasn't always been so simple. In the past, Apple only allowed people using its own devices to watch along with the keynote event live, forcing everyone else to catch up after the fact.

But, nowadays, even Windows users can watch along.

People can even keep up with the event alongside Apple itself, at screenings at Apple stores across the world.

It will be the first time ever that Apple will stream the event live on YouTube, and this year that is probably the simplest way to do so. The page for that stream is already live, and there is an option to set a reminder on the page to be alerted when the event actually starts.

The YouTube event, and the reminder, can be found here.

It will be streaming the event in its traditional way, too, on its own website. That can be found by heading to this link, either on an up-to-date iOS device or a newer desktop operating system and browser.

As ever, Apple will offer the option to stream through the Apple TV, too. The "special events" app should already have appeared on your dashboard, if you have an Apple TV, and the live stream will appear at the relevant time.

Apple will also allow people to watch the event in real life, at various stores. Which ones, and details to sign up, can be found on the Today at Apple page.

"Come and join us at the Apple Store for a livestream of the Apple Special Event from the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino," the description of the event on Apple's website reads. "We’re excited to watch some of the latest news from Apple with you."

Everything will kick off at 10am local pacific time. That's 1pm on the East Coast of the US, 6pm in the UK, 7pm CES or 10.30pm IST.
