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 held its WWDC event on Monday, revealing updates for every one of its platforms.

As well as new versions of the operating systems for its iPhone, iPad, Macs, Apple Watch and TVs, the company also revealed major new changes including the introduction of entirely new chips for its Macs.

It is the 31st time that Apple has held the event. But it is the first ever time that it has been entirely virtual, conducted only through the internet.

You can watch a replay of the live stream above and read The Independent's full coverage below.
