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 has updated the iPad Air, with the addition of a new chip and other features.

The tablet has received Apple’s M1 chip – the first processor that Apple made for its computers, which then came to the iPad Pro and now Air.

For the most part, the updates bring the iPad Air into line with that Pro. It also supports Apple’s Magic Keyboard, Pencil and Centre Stage feature, which allows the iPad’s camera to follow people as they walk around the room.

But it has some features that are unavailable in the Pro, too. They include new colours, just like the old iPad Air.

Tim Cook said the computer was intended to be “more fun than ever”, in an introduction during an event named “Peek Performance”.
