• The iPhone 12 Pro Max design has leaked, revealing several new design features of Apple’s 2020 iPhone series.
• The schematics prompted a Samsung leaker to say that the new design will be a nightmare for Android.
• The iPhone 12 is supposed to improve upon the iPhone X design, a phone that forced Android vendors to come up with copycats and then create attractive all-screen designs of their own.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

When the iPhone X was unveiled in 2017, it became the phone everyone else in the industry would try to copy. The iPhone X was hardly the only “all-screen” phone at the time, but it was the best option out there. While most Android rivals copied the iPhone X design in the year that followed, they all focused on the notch aspect of the phone, failing to copy the most brilliant feature of the iPhone X design. Android vendors perfected their all-screen designs last year and shifted away from copying the notch in the process. When the iPhone 12 arrives, however, it will kick Android right in the “chin.” At least, that’s what a long-time Samsung leaker says.

• Astronomers have discovered a planet so similar to Earth in size that it could be our planet’s twin.
• The planet, Kepler-1649c, is in the habitable zone of its star, raising the possibility of habitability.
• The planet’s star is a red dwarf, which are known to produce flares that could extinguish life.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Earth, as far as any of us know, is the only planet that has all the right ingredients for life. When astronomers gaze out past our solar system in search of new worlds it’s impossible to know exactly what is happening on its surface. Still, by measuring everything that can be measured from afar, we can get a pretty good idea of just how habitable or hostile any given planet might be.

Scientists using data gathered by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope have stumbled upon a planet that checks a lot of the boxes we’d consider crucial in the search for extraterrestrial life. It’s called Kepler-1649c and in terms of size, it could basically be Earth’s twin.

• Strawberry farmers have seen demand for their product plummet in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
• Nearly 25 million pounds of strawberries will likely be trashed every week during the peak of the harvest season.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

The novel coronavirus pandemic has affected just about every possible industry. It’s forced stores and restaurants to shut down, closed schools and colleges, and even NASA is now working from home. With all that in mind, it probably shouldn’t be surprising that the strawberry market is in shambles, but it’s still seriously bumming me out.

Strawberries — you know, the most delicious of all Mother Nature’s creations — are in serious peril. Restaurants don’t want them because they can’t use them, and other buyers that use them in a variety of food products don’t need them right now, either. It’s a strawberry apocalypse and it’s happening right before our very eyes.

• Researchers discovered a way to hack a smart crib to control its motion and speaker volume.
• The hack required access to a Wi-Fi network, which would be difficult to gain.
• The vulnerabilities have since been patched by the company.

The Snoo smart bassinet is like a dream come true for new parents. It has a seemingly magical ability to put babies to sleep in mere moments thanks to its soothing rocking motion, built-in speaker, and swaddle that ensures that little ones remain on their backs, safe and secure. It was also, for a time, hackable.

As Wired reports, researchers from security firm Red Balloon discovered that the internet-connected crib was vulnerable to attacks from users on the same Wi-Fi network. With access to the network, the researchers were able to remotely control the smart gadget, even pushing its motor and speaker past their designed limits.

• An antiviral tablet from Japan called Avigan that’s normally used to treat influenza is getting a closer look for being a possible treatment option for people suffering from the COVID-19 coronavirus.
• The company that makes the drug is in the midst of ramping up production, which comes as a clinical trial with the drug is underway in the US – and companies around the world are racing to find treatments and ultimately a vaccine with which to finally get the coronavirus pandemic under control.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Production of an antiviral tablet from Japan called Avigan that’s being tested as a treatment for the COVID-19 coronavirus is ramping up, following the launch of a Phase 2 clinical trial of the drug in the US.

The drug, also known as favipiravir and manufactured by Fujifilm Corp., has actually been approved for manufacturer and sale in Japan since 2014, when it was used to fight influenza. The company announced in recent days that as part of ramping up production of the drug, it will be allocating extra capacity at a facility in Japan to manufacture Avigan — and the company has also completed a number of deals necessary with international companies to source raw materials and pharmaceutical supplies needed to make the drug.

• A new MCU rumor says that Captain Marvel 2 might set up Avengers 5, or New Avengers.
• Captain Marvel 2 would do precisely what Civil War did for the last two major Avengers films.
• An actual release date for the New Avengers project hasn’t yet leaked, however.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

It was just a few days ago that we heard Marvel has been taking pitches from writers for Young Avengers. Anyone familiar with the MCU rumor mill knows that Young Avengers is an idea that appeared in various other leaks, and Marvel might be setting up the MCU to accommodate the storyline. After Endgame, the entire MCU needs to be rebuilt. Not only will we get more heroes to replace the ones who have died or retired, but we’ll also need new villains including a replacement for Thanos. On top of that, Marvel plans to incorporate new characters into the MCU properties that were unavailable before, including X-Men, Deadpool, and the Fantastic Four.

The addition of Disney+ to Disney’s arsenal makes it even easier to produce content across multiple franchises featuring the same actors and characters. MCU Phase 4 will be the first phase where standalone movies will be intertwined with TV series from Marvel Studios. The novel coronavirus has delayed the entire Phase 4 timeline, but at least some good came out of it: Marvel confirmed the release date of a movie that’s part of Phase 5, Captain Marvel 2. Now, a new rumor says that Carol Danvers’s new standalone adventure might set up Avengers 5.

• NASA’s Andrew Morgan and Jessica Meir are back on Earth, along with Russia’s Oleg Skripochka after departing the International Space Station late Thursday.
• The trio made it safely back to Earth, but now a new adjustment period begins.

NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Andrew Morgan are now back on solid ground, along with one of their Russian counterparts, Oleg Skripochka of Roscosmos. The trio shoved off from the International Space Station late Thursday and touched down back on Earth in the early morning hours.

Normally, this would be a routine crew return mission, and the astronauts would soon return home to the waiting arms of family and friends. Unfortunately, that’s not possible this time around, and the global coronavirus pandemic is to blame. The Earth the astronauts left over 200 days ago is not the same one that they have returned to.

• Researchers have engineered proteins that could travel the bloodstream and bind to excess cytokines in the so-called “cytokine storm” immune response that can take place with a variety of diseases.
• The discoveries were made well before the novel coronavirus outbreak started in Wuhan, China.
• The researchers believe their proteins could help in severe COVID-19 cases where cytokine storms can lead to death.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Doctors treating severe COVID-19 cases observed a condition called “cytokine storm” that can occur in some patients and lead to death. These so-called storms aren’t a new phenomenon, as they appear with other medical conditions as well. In simpler terms, the immune system that’s supposed to fight the novel coronavirus goes haywire and ends up attacking the whole body instead of just the virus. Doctors are using some drugs to lower the immune response in these severe cases, in an attempt to save the lives of these patients. Scientists explained that balancing the immune response is a tricky thing to do. On the one hand, the immune system creates antibodies that can kill the virus and help the patient recover. On the other hand, the cytokine storm that can follow might end up killing the patient.

Rather than use existing immuno-suppressing drugs to reduce the storms, doctors may be able to use a new therapy. Scientists have developed proteins that would bind to cytokines to help avoid complications that could lead to death.

• Amazon is offering AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro at all-time low prices right now, and they have been flying off of the popular retailer’s virtual shelves all week.
• Even on sale with impressive discounts, however, Apple’s various AirPods models are still very expensive with prices starting at $139 and reaching as high as nearly $250.
• Anyone in search of cord-free earbuds who doesn’t want to pay the Apple tax will be happy to learn that two different pairs of best-selling SoundPEATS true wireless earbuds are on sale right now with prices starting at just $21.74.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Apple’s two AirPods 2 models and the AirPods Pro are all on sale right now at deep discounts. Head over to Amazon and you’ll find that the incredibly popular AirPods Pro are back down to Black Friday’s all-time low price. If you don’t need active noise cancelling technology and you don’t care about the improved sound quality you get form noise-isolating silicone tips, you can also just pick up AirPods 2 instead. The entry-level version is $20 off at $139, and AirPods 2 with Wireless Charging Case happen to be down to a brand new all-time low price of just $149.98. That’s right… they’re only $11 more than the entry-level AirPods right now.

There’s no question whatsoever that those are all fantastic deals, and you would have to be nuts to buy AirPods from anywhere other than Amazon right now. That said, even the most affordable AirPods model right now still costs well over $100, which places it well out of reach for many people. If you’re on the lookout for a new pair of cord-free earbuds and you’re not interested in parting ways with so much cash, we’ve got two great deals to tell you about today and they both come from one of our readers’ favorite personal audio brands: SoundPEATS.

First up, the SoundPEATS TrueCapsule Wireless Earbuds our readers love so much are down to one of the best prices we’ve ever seen. These earbuds look pretty much like black AirPods and they even have voice assistant integration so you can tap to launch like AirPods. They retail for $33, which is already more than $100 less than the cheapest AirPods, but an on-site coupon coupled with the promo code LQU99BQH cuts that price down to just $23.39.
