• The big news last week was new all-time low pricing on AirPods 2 with Wireless Charging Case, but that deal is over.
• Lucky for you, Amazon is yet again offering Apple’s even more popular AirPods Pro true wireless noise cancelling earbuds at the retailer’s lowest price ever, which was first seen on Black Friday last year.
• Other AirPods models are still discounted right now on Amazon, including AirPods 2 with wireless charging for a whopping $80 off if you buy them renewed.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Last week, something surprising happened over at Amazon: AirPods 2 with Wireless Charging Case got a big price discount. It’s not very surprising to see them go on sale these days. In fact, head over to Amazon right now and you’ll find these great $199 earbuds available for $169. What was crazy about last week’s sale was the fact that they dropped to a new all-time low in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, beating last year’s Black Friday price by about $10.

The bad news is that deal is long gone now, and it’s quite possible that other AirPods deals aren’t far behind. It’s difficult to say when product shortages will really start to pick up as Amazon continues to primarily focus on shipping essential goods to hospitals. After all, most of the products we’ve been waiting to see come back in stock are still nowhere to be found after months of shortages.

Purell and Clorox wipes are still impossible to find at Amazon, and we may soon be able to add AirPods Pro to the list. Apple’s beloved true wireless noise cancelling earbuds were the hottest headphones of the season last year ahead of the holidays, and they have been in high demand ever since. Incredibly, Amazon recently slashed them back down to Black Friday’s lowest price ever, and they’re still available at that price right now. That said, this could be the last time for a long time that AirPods Pro are available at a discount. In light of everything that’s going on, there’s no way to say what supply might look like a week from now or even a few days from now.

Apple AirPods Pro: $234.95

For the time being, you can still head over to Amazon and you’ll be able to save 6% on AirPods Pro. You’re still looking at the same shipping quote of about a week out that we’ve been seeing, but it’s still a terrific opportunity to save on AirPods Pro and have them in your hands (and in your ears) in about a week.

If you’re not interested in active noise cancelling, you’ll find several other great AirPods deals today on Amazon. AirPods 2 with Wireless Charging Case are on sale for $169 instead of $199, but you can actually pick up a pair for just $119 if you get them renewed. They’re guaranteed by Amazon — not some third-party seller — to look and work like new or you can return them within 90 days for a full refund. Regular AirPods 2 are also on sale today for $139 instead of $159.

• Head over to Amazon’s dedicated Amazon devices deals page right now and you’ll only find a few available deals, none of which are very good if we’re being honest.

Amazon’s daily deals page is completely hidden right now, though we recently told our readers how you can still find it. For the time being, Amazon is moving away from promoting deals on nonessential products and is instead focusing most of its efforts on delivering medical supplies to hospitals. You certainly can’t fault the company for that, but it won’t help you while you’re stuck in coronavirus quarantine and you need some new gadgets to help pass the time. Lucky for you, there are a whole slew of great unadvertised deals that you probably didn’t even realize were available.

We’ve been covering a wide range of sales, but there are particularly good deals right now on various Amazon devices.

If you’re lucky enough to be one of the select few for whom the coupon code 4KFIRETV works, you’ll slash this best-seller down to its lowest price ever — just $24.99.

If that doesn’t work, you can buy two at full price and get a $20 Amazon credit when you activate them (here are the terms and conditions).

• Apple’s iPhone 12 release date is still unclear as the impact of coronavirus shutdowns has left many things up in the air.
• There are four new iPhone 12 models set to be released this year, and they’ll all feature an exciting redesign that resembles a cross between the iPhone 5 and iPad Pro.
• Next year’s new iPhone 12s is expected to push the new design even further and a new leak reveals what may end up being the next-generation iPhone’s most revolutionary feature.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Jony Ive’s dream was to create an iPhone that looks like one continuous piece of glass. The iPhone 12 series set to debut this year won’t push us any closer to realizing Ive’s dream, but the new iPhone 12s series set to debut in late 2021 very well might.

Rumors surrounding the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro series are really starting to heat up now that the design of the new phones has reportedly been finalized. From the front, the new iPhone 12 models will look a lot like the current-generation iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro phones, though the notch at the top will be narrower. The bezel around the rest of the display will reportedly be thinner as well, at least on the iPhone 12 Pro models. Around back, the new iPhone 12 phones will sport a dual-lens camera while the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will feature an updated triple-lens rear camera that also packs a new LIDAR sensor. Finally, the edges of the phone will be wrapped in flat metal similar to the old iPhone 5 design everyone loves. It’s shaping up to be a very exciting update that will also be Apple’s first smartphone series to include 5G support and 120Hz “ProMotion” displays, but it looks like the new iPhone 12s series coming next year will feature an even more exciting design change.

• We recently told you about a few different smartphone sanitizers on Amazon that use UV-C light to kill bacteria and viruses like the novel coronavirus on smartphones — they sold out within hours of our coverage.
• Now, in a surprising turn of events, two of the most popular models we have covered in the past few weeks are both back in stock on Amazon and ready to ship out this week.
• As an added bonus, we also found a tiny portable UV sterilizer that can zap bacteria and viruses on jewelry, and it’s only $17.99 right now if you hurry.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

It is believed that there are two main ways people become infected with the novel coronavirus. The first way is by not adhering to strict social distancing guidelines and inhaling “micro-droplets” that float in the air and carry the virus. These microscopic droplets enter the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or even just speaks or breathes, and you can easily catch COVID-19 if those droplets get in your mouth, nose, or eyes.

The second common way the novel coronavirus spreads is through contact. Infected people touch surfaces and leave behind active virus that can then be picked up and transmitted when a healthy person touches the same surface. Of course, you can’t just absorb the novel coronavirus through your skin. An infection can occur when you get the virus on your hands and then touch your face. Alternatively, the same infection can happen when you transfer the virus from your hands to the filthy cesspool that is your smartphone, and then ultimately to your face.

Everyone knows smartphones are filthy, but things like Clorox and Lysol wipes are still almost impossible to come by. How should you clean your phone so you can kill bacteria and viruses like the Novel coronavirus? Smartphone sanitizers that use UV light are the best tool for the job, and several popular models that have been best-sellers among our readers are now back in stock at Amazon.

First up, the top-selling Marnana Portable UV Phone Sterilizer is back and ready to ship. This compact UV cleaner case pops open and your phone goes inside. Press the button on the top to start sanitizing and your phone is blasted with UV-C light for a few minutes. I like to do two passes on each side just to be safe.

UV Phone Sanitizer, Marnana Portable UV Phone Sterilizer Cleaner Case with Wireless Charger & U…: $43.99

Next up, we have the HoMedics UV-Clean Portable Sanitizer Bag with much better coverage and much more internal space so you can fit all kinds of other objects apart from just your smartphone. It’s available right now in two colors and a third will be in stock next week — you can save $20 if you opt for that third version and wait a week.

HoMedics UV-Clean Portable Sanitizer | Kills Up to 99.9% of Bacteria & Viruses at The DNA Level…: $79.95

As an added bonus, we also just came across a tiny little sanitizer called the Munchkin Portable UV Sterilizer. It won’t fit a smartphone since it’s so compact, but you can easily carry it with you anywhere and it’s great for sanitizing jewelry and other small objects. Best of all, you’ll only pay $19.97 for this awesome mini sanitizer.

• Microsoft just registered a new Xbox Series X logo that could be used on the next-gen console, Series X games, and other associated products in the near future.
• The company is yet to formally show the new logo, or reveal the console’s retail packaging and other branding initiatives.
• Sony’s PS5 logo was unveiled back in early January at CES 2020.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Microsoft and Sony both decided to launch their next-gen consoles this year, and 2020 should have been a significant year for gaming. Then the coronavirus pandemic happened, pausing life as we knew it. Strict social distancing measures stopped every activity that involved crowds of people, and that’s why we didn’t have any proper PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X announcements. Microsoft did have a considerable advantage over Sony, after having unveiled the console’s design in mid-December, well before the world started worrying about a pneumonia-like new disease from China. Since then, the company has been one step ahead of Sony, revealing the full specs of the console and showing the Xbox controller before Sony had a chance to match Microsoft’s moves. But not all new Xbox announcements are supposed to be exciting, and the latest revelation is proof of that.

• A teaser image suggests the Galaxy Note 20 might get a significant display upgrade this year.
• An image that Samsung shared suggests the new handset might feature an under-screen camera, the holy grail of smartphone screen design right now.
• However, there’s no proof to back up the teaser, which is probably just a placeholder image.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Samsung is widely expected to unveil its next flagship series in early August, regardless of what happens with the novel coronavirus health crisis. That’s the Galaxy Note 20, which will be joined by a new foldable, the Galaxy Fold 2. The Galaxy Note 20 is expected to look a lot like the Galaxy S20 when it comes to the overall design. The handset will feature an all-screen display and multi-lens camera on the back, but it’ll also feature a built-in S-Pen stylus like every Galaxy Note generation to date. A brand new leak suggests the phone might get the most significant display upgrade in a few years, but the technology might not be quite there yet.

• Conspiracy theories, unproven claims, fake news, and junk science have all proliferated during the coronavirus pandemic, leading many to attack coronavirus vaccine development when in fact that might be the only thing that eventually saves us from the virus.
• There’s evidence, however, that the nature of the current global COVID-19 crisis is causing many anti-vaxxers to re-evaluate their dangerous beliefs.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

The novel coronavirus pandemic may be having a surprising effect on the wildly misguided anti-vaccination movement that’s based on a dangerous cocktail of junk science, outlandish conspiracy theories, and outright lies: Some of the anti-vaxxers, it seems, seem to now be less inclined to oppose vaccines as a result of the deadly COVID-19 virus that spreads with frightening ease and is an order of magnitude more lethal than the flu.

At any rate, that’s the conclusion of a new 18-month study of polling data as well as online chatter related to vaccines conducted by the Vaccine Confidence Project. According to Heidi Larson, the director of the London-based organization, the online posts (including more than 3 million a day between January and March that were analyzed) on balance seem to suggest that most people are “eager for a coronavirus vaccine, and as soon as possible” — which should unquestionably win an award for the understatement of the year.

• Are you tired of Tiger King yet? That’s the massively successful and buzzy Netflix series which garnered a huge viewership in the weeks following its launch — some 64 million households, to be exact, Netflix announced on Tuesday.
• But even though the docu-series has proven to be a ubiquitous pop culture phenomenon, the streamer is now predicting that another hot Netflix original (the Spanish-language drama Money Heist, about a group of criminals who get together to pull off an epic heist, is about to eclipse Tiger King’s viewership in a matter of days.)
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

I was waiting for this to happen. Tiger King and all its inherent insanity wasn’t going to stay the most-watched TV show on Netflix forever, as much as Joe Exotic might have hoped all of us wouldn’t get tired of his unhinged escapades and his near-blood feud with Carole Baskin.

In its new quarterly letter to shareholders distributed on Tuesday, Netflix offered a rundown of how much its business (no surprise) has soared thanks to all of us being stuck at home right now because of the coronavirus, such that Netflix added a whopping 15.77 new customers in the first quarter of this year. Those are among the new customers who helped make Tiger King the hit that it was. Meanwhile, the streaming giant also offered some viewership data for some of its newest hit series — like Tiger King, which Netflix said 64 million households watched in the first four weeks it was available on the service. For most of that time, the series has been one of Netflix’s hottest, most-watched shows. However, by the end of this month, there’s another Netflix original — a Spanish-language drama about a group of criminals who get together to pull off an epic heist — that’s projected to reach an even bigger viewership than Tiger King.

• Interstellar comet 2I/Borisov is packed with carbon monoxide, making it a real weirdo when compared to comets from our solar system.
• Scientists using high-powered telescopes observed the comet’s emissions and found carbon monoxide as well as hydrogen cyanide.
• Future observations of new interstellar comets will be the only way to determine how unique 2I/Borisov truly is.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

When an amateur astronomer spotted what appeared to be only the second interstellar object ever observed by mankind, it was an incredibly big deal. The object, later confirmed to be a comet and named 2I/Borisov, definitely originated from outside of our solar system, and researchers have been studying it for months.

Now, after observation campaigns from both the Hubble Space Telescope and Chile’s Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), scientists have enough data to begin to describe what the comet is made of, and perhaps even offer us some hints as to its origins.
