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 tends to use the same design for its phones two years running so visually there aren't many great differences with this new model.
The Rose Gold design is however a new colour.
The processor is faster as is the Touch ID recognition.
3D touch also adds sensitivity to the touch screen allowing smaller menus from the home screen for each app when pressed harder. This could add a great deal to the flexibility of apps in the future.
Live photos is another new feature, taking recorded frames before and after you take a photo, allowing them to move when pressed including on the lock screen.
The battery life is largely similar but the video capabilities are much stronger, filming in 4k HD.
Selfie takers will also be pleased to hear that the screen now flashes when taking a selfie, making low light no longer an issue.
