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's venture into TV set top boxes has developed from what CEO Steve Jobs once called a "hobby" into a vibrantly popular ecosystem.
On December 21 the company announced it would exceed the milestone of selling one million Apple TV devices later this week.
According to Apple, "users are now renting and purchasing over 400,000 TV episodes and over 150,000 movies per day."
Rival set top box maker Roku also announced it is also close to selling its one millionth box in an article published in Business Insider on December 20.
Despite being in direct competition with Apple, Roku's device sales actually doubled after Apple TV was released.
Roku CEO Anthony Wood explained to Business Insider the rise in sales was "because Apple helped bring a lot of new attention and awareness to the category."
