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 is to release a software update to its iOS 5 operating system, acknowledging customer complaints on the performance of the iPhone 4S battery.

"A small number of customers have reported lower-than-expected battery life on iOS 5 devices," Apple said. "We have found a few bugs and we will release a software update to address those in a few weeks."

A rash of complaints on the phone's short battery life have cropped up in online forums. It has also affected some of the iPad tablet computers.
