Meet the iPhone X

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 just held its biggest event of the year. And it launched its biggest product of the year, the iPhone 8 – before going ahead and announcing an even bigger one, the iPhone X.

There was actually three phones: the cheaper iPhone 8, and the premium and more expensive X.

And that wasn't all – there was also an updated Apple Watch, an even better looking Apple TV, and software updates for most of Apple's products.

Follow along here for all the latest updates from Apple's big event, as well as before and after.

Please allow a moment for the liveblog to appear.

Jony Ive is on.

"For more than a decade, our intention has been to create an iPhone that is all display.

"Developing the form and display together defines a whole new integration, making the boundary between the face and the screen hard to discern."

"10 years ago, Steve introduced the world to the iPhone. He included a quote from Wayne Gretzky" about skating to where the puck is going to be. "That is what iPhone X is all about."

Tim Cook is wrapping up.

Apple Watch without your iPhone.

Apple TV 4K brings cinema straight to your living room.

iPhone 8: beautiful glass design, new cameras, wireless charging, powerful AR capabilities.

And iPhone X: the most advanced iPhone we've ever made. With an incredible new design, FaceID, TrueDepth camera system and more powerful camera technologies than ever before. It really is the future of the smartphone.
