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.

Parts of the tech world convinced themselves that yesterday - the day of iOS7's unveiling - was one of the most important days since, well, ever. But were punters as blown away as pundits?

1. Phil Libin, Evernote CEO

"I think iOS 7 is the biggest day in technology ever.

"There’s never been another day like this in the history of the universe where hundreds of millions of people will see a big change to something that they’re used to"

2. Tim Cook, CEO of Apple

"The biggest change to iOS since the iPhone.”

3. Rene Ritchie, iMore

"iOS 7 represents nothing more nor less than a radical rethinking of mainstream multitouch interface."

4. Nick Heer, Pixel Envy

"iOS 7 is a truly sublime experience."
