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.

Vodafone UK has released a neat little video that tracks the history of mobile design as it has evolved over the years.

The video uses "never seen before" 3D Projection Mapping techniques to bring static mobile phone models to life.

"From the Motorola 'brick' through to the first text message and colour screen, to GPS and Android. The question is: what's next?" asks Vodafone.

A second video by YouTube user Phoneshopuk showcases mobile designs dating back to 1985 whilst also speculating about what the future may hold for mobile device design.
