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.Some of us meet our partners in boozy bars, others come together over art or books – and some, this St Valentine's Day, will be drawn, magnet-like, to their future bit of stuff's electronic device.
Or at least that's the thinking behind American dating website Cupidtino, which has just launched a new app for lovelorn iPhone owners. And only an iPhone (or iPad or iPod) will do. Lonely hearts looking to meet their future Mr or Mrs Right at Cupidtino have to be confirmed Apple users (so strict are the creators that you can't even access the web page if you aren't tappin' away on one of Job's creations).
How does the site – which takes its name from an amalgamation of cupid and Cupertino, Apple's Californian headquarters – work, then? Instead of the standard questions, it gets straight in there with "What's your ideal iTunes playlist?" or the lothario's favourite, "What's in your Netflix queue?", on the basis of which you and your profile then get a score for overall "Appleness", which you can compare and contrast with future mates.
So come on, lonely-hearted Mac addicts, check it out, you might find some iLove... or maybe just someone to have a fruity encounter with.
