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.The stock market took a few bites out of Apple this year; share prices dropped to a low of $385 in April, and performance has been rocky since. So last night's WWDC keynote came with added expectation. Did it deliver?
Our tech correspondent David Phelan admired the redesign of Apple's operating system, iOS 7: "It looks as fresh as paint. It may not mean that the Apple system is far ahead of its rivals but it’s definitely better-looking."
Dan Farber rhapsodises over the commitment to high production values on CNET:
"Cook pointed out several times how the iPhone didn’t outsell the competition but cited research that it garnered far more Web usage and customer satisfaction awards. Apple is attempting to design products that generate feelings of delight, surprise, and love."
Chris Taylor, writing for Mashable, was impressed by the unshowy nature of Steve Jobs' replacement as CEO, Tim Cook:
"The company has started to take on the personality of its even-keel CEO. It wants to be known as a place of obsessive designers who iterate ruthlessly, hard workers who don’t brag. A dose of humility is just what was needed."
Blogging for The Telegraph, Mic Wright notes a new sense of caution in the tech giant:
"Apple is not on the slide or headed for a fall – let’s leave that talk to hyperactive analysts – but its once bullish confidence is now a little forced. Schiller’s right that it can still innovate but there was precious little of that demonstrated onstage tonight."
