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.

Apple has announced a new entry-level addition to its iMac range of all-in-one desktop computers.

The new iMac is priced at £899 in the UK and $1,099 in the US, offering a 21.5-inch screen, a 1.4GHz dual-core Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive.

Previously, Apple’s cheapest iMac was sold for £1,049 or $1,299 – with these prices now getting customers the 2.7GHz processor speed and 1TB hard drive.

The iMac hasn’t been updated since September last year when Apple added faster processors, graphics and Wi-Fi and the actual look of the device (with its tapered screen) hasn’t changed since October 2012.

The new iMac (including the rest of the range – the prices of which have all dropped by £100 to £150) are all available to order from Apple’s website.

The price cuts follow similar changes to Apple’s MacBook Air earlier this year, although the Mac mini is still Apple’s cheapest computer – starting at £499.
