Meet the iPhone X

Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

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.

Looks like you can tell the new Watch apart because it has a little red dot on the side of the digital crown.

There's new internals ready to make everything work: a new chip to connect to the internet, another to make it faster so that Siri can talk, and an altimeter so that the Watch knows how high up it is.

How did they fit the new antenna and everything into the Watch? Well, first off, there is no antenna: the phones display is the antenna. And how did they fit the SIM? They didn't  – that's integrated too.

Even despite all the new stuff, the case is the same size as the old Watch. (That also means that your old bands will fit, it seems.)

Mr Wiliams is ringing someone (Deidre, a colleague) on his Apple Watch. She's calling from a paddle board on a lake!!
