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.
The FaceID technology went a bit awry there. Software head Craig Federighi came on to talk about how easy it is – and it wouldn't recognise him.
Anyway, he's in now, and taking us around how the software works. It's fairly complicated, but looks very fluid. My sense is that this is the kind of thing that won't really make sense until you actually use the phone.
It's dependent on a lot of swipes. You can swipe from the top right to get to control centre, for instance. Or swipe from the bottom to bring up multitasking.
Craig Federighi is doing an impression of a chicken at his phone.
Tim Cook now doing an impression of an alien. "Take me to your leader... Wait a minute, Craig! I am your leader."
Another new product! A special charging pad – called "AirPower" – that you can put your phone, Watch and AirPods onto, and charge them all at the same time.
