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.Organised religion may be on the decline in Britain, but there's one faith that seems to be going from strength to strength: the Cult of the Mac. Apple's new iPhone went on sale yesterday evening across Britain. Despite the inclement weather, it had people queuing around corners. Thousands of faithful Apple fans could not wait to get hold of the slinky über-gadget and have a stab at its fancy touch-screen.
Some 1.4 million of these handsets have been offloaded in the US already. After the massively successful iPod, Apple seems to have developed another winner. So the big question is: what next for Apple and its high priest, Steve Jobs?
How about a chain of opticians called iTests? Too unambitious? Maybe Apple should go the whole hog and establish a republic for the consumers of its gadgets. iLand anyone?
