Whatever you do, don’t buy AirPods 2 right now… because AirPods 2 with Wireless Charging Case just dropped to a new all-time low price on Amazon that’s $10 less than what Apple charges for the base model.
On top of that, Amazon is also still offering AirPods Pro cord-free earbuds with active noise cancelling for the lowest price ever, matching the retailer’s sale price from Black Friday last year.
These deals both first appeared earlier this week on Amazon’s site, and there’s a good chance they’ll be gone after today or by the end of the weekend.

When Amazon first announced that it was shifting its focus away from most products so that it could focus the majority of its efforts on stocking and shipping medical supplies to hospitals, many people panicked. While it’s clear that there were definitely big delays on some items and many more still won’t ship until sometime next month, many of the more “essential” nonessentials have been shipping out fast this entire time.

Among the most notable exceptions to Amazon’s new rule are Apple’s various AirPods models, which have been best-sellers on Amazon for many months now. What’s even crazier than the fact that these nonessential headphones aren’t seeing any serious shipping delays is the pricing — AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro have been on sale at all-time low prices several times over the past few weeks. Now, Amazon is taking things to the next level.

Most of our readers who are interested in AirPods 2 as opposed to AirPods Pro opt for the entry-level version with the normal charging case. Needless to say, the explanation is pretty simple: they’re cheaper. AirPods 2 retail for $159 while the upgraded model with wireless charging sells for $199. On Amazon with their normal discounts, the base model drops to $139 and the upgraded version usually sells for $169, which is still a pretty wide gap. Right now, however, AirPods 2 with Wireless Charging Case are down to a new all-time low that’s $10 lower than the price we saw last year during Black Friday. Hurry and you can get a pair for just $149.98!

Apple AirPods with Wireless Charging Case: $149.98

Where AirPods Pro are concerned, Apple’s first cord-free Bluetooth earphones with active noise cancellation are still on sale right now at last year’s all-time low price from Black Friday and Cyber Week. That means instead of paying $250 like you would from Apple or most of its retail partners, you can head over to Amazon right now and pick up a pair for $234.98.

Apple AirPods Pro: $234.95

Indonesian officials are using abandoned buildings as makeshift quarantine centers for people who refuse to follow lockdown guidelines.
Some of the buildings are believed to be haunted, serving as additional motivation for citizens to follow the rules.
No actual ghost sightings have been reported thus far.
Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Social distancing and quarantine measures are the strategies that we know are already working to help curb the spread of the novel coronavirus and flatten the infection curve. They’re not fun, but they work, and it’s our responsibility to follow these measures for our own health as well as the health of the general public. If you break these rules in Indonesia, you might find yourself locked in what locals are calling a haunted house.

It’s one heck of an interesting strategy: Indonesian politicians are hoping to scare some of the more stubborn citizens by repurposing old, abandoned buildings into quarantine lockdown facilities. The idea is that if you don’t want to end up in a run-down, possibly haunted house, you’ll follow the quarantine orders and remain comfortable in your own, not-haunted home.

3-layer and 4-layer face masks have been best-sellers at Amazon since the CDC recommends that we all wear them, but that’s not the only coronavirus-fighting product that everyone should have.
You’ll also need hand sanitizer and plenty of it, of course, but it’s still impossible to find in most online stores and supermarkets.
Somehow, there is actually hand sanitizer in stock right now over at Amazon and new orders will be delivered next week… if you hurry and order before it inevitably sells out.
Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Head over to the CDC’s coronavirus page and you’ll see some simple instructions that are clear as day. Anytime you leave the house for any reason, you need to wear a face mask. It doesn’t have to be a medical-grade N95 mask, of course, and it shouldn’t be since they’re still in such short supply among healthcare workers and first responders. Simple cloth face coverings are more than good enough to do the job when combined with strict social distancing and good hygiene.

Some people use bandanas or they make their own masks using DIY instructions shared online, but Amazon’s best-selling face masks are actually back in stock right now and they only cost $0.80 apiece. There’s no telling how much longer they’ll stay in stock, of course, so definitely order a box or three now while you still can. You know what’s even rarer to see on Amazon these days than face masks though? Hand sanitizer, but it’s somehow back in stock right now and ready to ship. Order now and it’ll be delivered as soon as next week!

Hurry and you can pick up a 5-pack of BushKlawz 75% Alcohol Instant Hand Sanitizer for $23.99, which is actually a pretty decent price these days. This sanitizer came from out of nowhere and it’s definitely going to sell out fast, so hurry or you’ll miss this rare opportunity. It has 75% ethyl alcohol which is even more than the recommended amount, so you can be certain it’ll kill off all the bacteria and viruses that might be on your hands.

In addition to those 2-ounce bottles, you’ll also find 8-ounce spray bottles of Zatural Waterless Hand Cleaner in stock and 2-packs are only $24.99 right now. They ship quickly compared to other options and they also have moisturizers mixed in so you don’t have to worry about drying out your hands too much. This hand sanitizer is a 62% ethyl alcohol mix, so it’s right in line with the CDC’s recommendations.

Apple’s leaked iPhone 12 design looks stunning in these new images

It has been reported on several occasions that Apple’s iPhone 12 release date will be delayed, possibly to sometime in October or maybe even November depending on how severe the novel coronavirus’s impact is on manufacturing.
While Apple fans might have to wait longer than normal to get their hands on Apple’s next-generation iPhones, they don’t have to wait at all to see what Apple’s new design looks like.
Apple’s final iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro designs recently leaked, and now a new series of images shows us what the handsets are believed to look like.
Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

If you’re a hardcore Apple fan and you follow all the latest rumors and leaks, you’ve undoubtedly read several times by now that Apple’s iPhone 12 release is likely delayed. Nothing is known with absolute certainty, of course, but more and more rumblings suggest that Apple will end up missing its customary mid-September release timeframe. The novel coronavirus pandemic has been wreaking havoc around the world for months now, and it will continue to disrupt our lives for the foreseeable future. Practically everyone and everything is impacted in one way or another, including the factories in China and elsewhere that manufacture consumer electronics.

The most recent reports have said that iPhone 12 mass-production has been pushed back by at least one month. If true, that means one of two things: either Apple’s iPhone 12 models will be released on time in September and they’ll be in very short supply, or Apple will push the release back to sometime in October or November. Whatever the case, we still have at least four months and change before Apple reveals its new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro designs. Unfortunately for Apple and luckily for us, however, the new designs have already leaked.

KN95 face masks are actually in stock right now at Amazon

Amazon has had 3-layer face masks in stock for nearly two weeks now, and tens of thousands of our readers have purchased them.
The CDC recommends that people wear this type of face covering anytime they have to leave the house, and the masks linked above work very well as long as you also practice strict social distancing and good hygiene.
KN95 masks do an even better job of protecting you from aerosolized coronavirus, and there is a rare opportunity to buy them right now at Amazon.
Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

In the early days of the novel coronavirus outbreak here in the United States, it was impossible to find face masks in stock anywhere online. It’s still not easy even now, of course, but BGR Deals readers know that Amazon has actually managed to stock some over the past couple of weeks. We’ve been doing our best to let readers know each and every time Amazon’s best-selling 3-layer face masks are back in stock, and tens of thousands of our readers have been able to get them as a result. This is important, of course, because the CDC recommends that we wear face coverings like this every single time we leave the house.

Face Mask, Pack of 50: $39.99 ($0.80 / Mask)

That CDC directive isn’t going to change anytime soon, so you would be wise to stock up on these face masks now while you can. They do a great job of helping to protect you as long as you practice strict social distancing and good hygiene. That means staying away from people when you’re outside and washing your hand thoroughly with soap or hand sanitizer anytime you touch a surface outside of your home. And by the way, hand sanitizer is somehow in stock right now as well at Amazon.

Those face masks are great for normal outings when you can stay far away from everyone else. If you have to go indoors anywhere, however, you should consider something that’s even more effective at blocking viruses and preventing the spread of the novel coronavirus. We’re not suggesting that you should buy the N95 masks that hospitals need so desperately. Instead, you should try to find yourself some KN95 face masks that are just as effective.

Daily Face Protection Cover, Safety Dust Particle and Droplets (10 Masks): $38.29 ($3.83 / Mask

10PCS Breathing Non-Woven Fabric, meltblown Filter Safety Earloop for Protection from Dust: $43.99 ($4.40 / Mask

KN95 masks have been almost impossible to find on Amazon or at any other retailer. The few options that have appeared recently at Amazon have been designated solely for hospitals and other healthcare professionals, but that changed today. We’re not sure how, but a handful of sellers have managed to stock KN95 masks and they’re available to buy right now.

ZenFlex 5-layer KN95 face masks can be purchased in 10-count boxes that are available for $38 and change. At under $4 per mask, that’s actually a pretty great price. You can also pick up 10-count boxes of KN95 face masks for a bit more at $43.99. That’s still under $5 per mask, which is less than you’ll pay if you try to buy them on eBay, Craigslist, or from most other online sources.

Both of the aforementioned masks are in stock right now on Amazon and are shipping out quickly. That said, they’ll undoubtedly sell out quickly now that the cat is out of the bag, so definitely hurry up and grab some while you still can. You’ll find a few other brands right here once those sell out, and don’t forget about 3-layer face masks that are much cheaper at $0.80 each.

Apple released a bunch of new products in the past few weeks, despite the coronavirus pandemic that makes it impossible to visit Apple retail stores in most countries.

Apple is yet to upgrade the MacBook Pro line, although we already have several rumors detailing the upcoming releases. Apple is expected to replace the 13.3-inch MacBook with a 14-inch model, just like it did with the 15.6-inch version that got a 16-inch display upgrade last year. On top of that, Apple might launch its first ARM MacBook later this year, part of the rumored plan to replace Intel chips with its custom A-series processors. It’s unclear when Apple will start rolling out MacBook Pro upgrades, but a brand new leak tells us what we might expect from the 2020 Pro laptops.

The more affordable Pixel 4 variation comes with one huge upgrade, as well as several compromises that helped Google keep costs down. Even the primary camera of the Pixel 4a won’t match the Pixel 4, but the handset will still take remarkable photos. Says so the first video review of the device.

So far, Netflix has been pretty unstoppable during the coronavirus pandemic, when most TV and movie productions have been forced to shut down and we’re all stuck at home with nothing but time.
In recent days, for example, the streamer debuted Extraction, a new Netflix original movie starring Chris Hemsworth and produced by the Russo brothers of Avengers: Endgame fame — and Netflix claims some 90 million households have already watched at least part of the movie.
On the TV front, one of the hottest new series on Netflix right now is Outer Banks, per new data from Reelgood.
Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

It’s been described as Ozark meets The O.C. That’s certainly one way to put it, in case you haven’t yet checked out Outer Banks — the umpteenth Netflix original to debut on the streamer this year, never mind the global pandemic raging outside, and the latest in what’s been a string of super-buzzy projects from Netflix since January.

So far in 2020, Netflix has given us series like The Circle, Tiger King, Too Hot to Handle, new seasons of Ozark and Money Heist, and now this. If you’ve got a teen in your household, there’s a pretty good chance they’ve already been raving about this new series that debuted on April 15 and which Netflix’s official description summarizes as follows: “Outer Banks is a coming of age story that follows a tight-knit group of local teens (the “Pogues”) in the beach vacation destination of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. When a hurricane kills the power for the summer season, it sets off a chain of illicit events that force the friends to make life-altering decisions.”
