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.iPhone users are deleting the Bible to make room for iOS 8, proving that the word of God is no match for the voice of Siri.
Apple's latest operating system arrived yesterday but the update requires 4.6 GB of free space, forcing many users to rifle through their apps deleting blurred selfies, long since completed games and that avant garde concept album you're never going to actually listen to in a bid to make room for the overhaul.
Some people have had to go as far as deleting the Bible app, because the Old Testament might be a rollicking good story but the world needs manual exposure sliders on their cameras goddamnit.
It's fitting really, given how Apple fandom is often likened to a religion.
If you do manage to clear enough space for iOS 8, here's some fun features to try out on it, including getting Siri to identify a song, taking a timelapse video, dictating a message in real time and turning on your iPhone's 'distress signal'.
