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.
It'll come in two colours: black and white, essentially. (there's supposed to be another colour, but it's presumably not ready yet.)
Phil Schiller is explaining how you use the phone without the home button. You can use Siri by talking or pressing the side of the screen, for instance.
"With iPhone 10, your iPhone is locked until you look at it, and it recognises you. Nothing has ever been more simple, natural and effortless. We call this Face ID. Face ID is the future of how we unlock our smartphones and protect our sensitive information."
Even if you change your hair, wear a hat, put on a scarf, the Face ID will still work.
And you won't be able to trick it by wearing a mask, Mr Schiller makes clear.
