Meet the iPhone X

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 just held its biggest event of the year. And it launched its biggest product of the year, the iPhone 8 – before going ahead and announcing an even bigger one, the iPhone X.

There was actually three phones: the cheaper iPhone 8, and the premium and more expensive X.

And that wasn't all – there was also an updated Apple Watch, an even better looking Apple TV, and software updates for most of Apple's products.

Follow along here for all the latest updates from Apple's big event, as well as before and after.

Please allow a moment for the liveblog to appear.

"Words can't describe how much nicer it is to put it down" and have it charge, says Phil Schiller. You'll be able to do that at home, in cafes and other places that support it, as well as in your car.

"What makes this possible is that we're building into iPhone 8 and 8 Plus: Qi." That's a wireless charging standard that you can already find in a lot of places.

"One more thing." It's back! And it's for the iPhone X.

"We have great respect for these words and we don't use them lightly. Our teams have been hard at work for years on something that is important to all of us: the future of the smartphone."

"10 years later it is only fitting that we are here in this place, on this day, to reveal a product that will se the path of technology for the next decade."

It's called the iPhone X. (And Tim Cook pronounces it 10.)

It's "water and dust resistant at a microscopic level."
