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 is holding one of its biggest events of the year, demonstrating all of the software that will soon come to people's devices.

The event will include refreshes of every major piece of software that Apple has, including the operating systems that run its iPhones, Macs, iPads, Apple Watches and Apple TVs.

The company could also unveil some surprise hardware announcements, as well as laying out its plans for things like artificial intelligence more broadly.

The company will use "differential privacy" – which means that it can still use all of the information it has to learn about people, but won't be able to profile individual people.

There'll be a developer preview today; a public beta in July; and the full version in autumn.

We're coming towards the end, with announcements for developers. That includes a new app built to help people do more with Apple's own programming language, Swift.

The new app – Swift Playgrounds – is an interactive world-type game that's played by writing code.
