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.

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!!
