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 Music has just launched with a three month free trial — and a £9.99 monthly auto-renewal at the end of it, unless it’s turned off.

Signing up to the service means committing to keep paying, unless you choose to stop auto-renewals. But stopping them is easy to do.

Clicking on the little red silhouette in the app brings up your profile. From there you can select “View Apple ID” and head to “Manage”, under “Subscription” — on that page, you’ll see all of your subscriptions, including those for magazines, as well as Apple Music which is under “Your Membership”.

Clicking on that will mean you’ll be able to see all of the subscription settings, including when the free trial will end and what sort of subscription you’re on. To stop the auto-renewal, you can simply toggle the relevant button, which is at the bottom of the list.

If you don’t uncheck the auto-renewal, the card associated with your Apple ID will be charged £9.99 a month, or £14.99 on the family plan.
