• Microsoft and Sony both pulled back the curtain on the internal specifications of their next-gen consoles this week following months of anticipation.
• We can now at least partially compare the performance of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, although we have yet to see either running a next-generation video game.
• While the PS5’s raw numbers pale in comparison to those of the Xbox Series X, both will be incredibly powerful and should run current-gen games at lightning speeds.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

By the time we actually get our hands on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X this holiday season (providing the virus doesn’t ruin everything), many of us will have forgotten all about the teraflops and gigahertz.

No matter how powerful a new video game console is, what really matters is the quality of the games available on the console, and how well it plays those games. Unfortunately, it will be quite some time before we can see either the PS5 or the Xbox Series X running next-gen games, so in the meantime, there’s only one way to compare the two.

This week, both Sony and Microsoft divulged the full specifications of their upcoming consoles, and while there are a number of similarities, there are a few key differences that will have fans arguing for months.

• Apple’s iPhone 12 release may be delayed in a worst-case scenario as the world is still looking to get a handle on the coronavirus.
• The iPhone 12 was poised to be a huge release, complete with new and advanced hardware and, at long last, the inclusion of 5G support.
• The worldwide impact of the coronavirus is unprecedented in the modern era and there’s no telling the extent to which Apple’s bottom line will suffer as a result.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

With the iPhone 12 release presumably about six months away, one feature that was all but guaranteed was the inclusion of 5G support. Indeed, Apple’s insistence on rolling out a next-gen iPhone with 5G connectivity was the driving force behind the company’s decision to settle their bitter legal dispute with Qualcomm over iPhone royalties. Qualcomm, of course, is the biggest supplier of 5G chipsets and Apple, we would later found out, came to the conclusion that Intel would not be able to meet Apple’s 5G needs with respect to both performance and shipment volume.

The coronavirus, however, may ultimately throw Apple’s 5G plans on the back burner. A new investor note from Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives relays that the iPhone 12 with 5G may not hit store shelves this fall given that “the global lockdown-like conditions with the supply chain in Asia [is] still on a path to normalization.”

• The Apple Watch is the most popular smartwatch in the world. In fact, it’s the best-selling watch model period, not just among smartwatches.
• One of the best things about the Apple Watch is how flexible and versatile it is since Apple makes a wide range of interchangeable bands that you can swap out as often as you’d like.
• As great as it is to be able to customize the look of your Apple Watch on a whim, Apple’s bands are very expensive — but there’s an alternative called the VATI Sport Band that’s available in even more colors for a fraction of what Apple charges.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

I don’t care how much money you have, if you have an Apple Watch and you buy Sport Bands from Apple, you’re crazy. The company charges $50 a pop for two little pieces of rubber, and that’s not okay — especially not when other companies sell the exact same thing at a small fraction of that price. Case in point: the VATI Sport Band for Apple Watch on Amazon is identical to Apple’s official Sport Band, it comes in about a million different colors, and prices start at just $5 and change!

Okay fine, so there aren’t actually a million different colors, but there are more than two dozen colors available and that’s a whole lot more than you’ll find at your local Apple store. And it’s important to note that despite the incredibly low prices, these Sport Bands are just as good as the ones Apple charges $50 for. In fact, you won’t even be able to tell the difference since they’re made out of the same material and have the exact same design.

VATI Sport Band Compatible for Apple Watch Band 42mm 44mm, Soft Silicone Sport Strap Replacemen…: $5.99+

Here’s a review on Amazon about how great these bands are and how close they are to Apple’s Sport Bands:

This band looks and feels as good as the one the Apple Watch came with. It’s smooth and almost velvety feeling. The price is unbeatable and the color choices are great! I bought a yellow one and just looking at it makes me happy! It’s bright, cheerful, and summery – a true yellow. The band also has the same type of closure as the Apple brand. I’ll be ordering more!

There are plenty more where that came from because the VATI Sport Bands for Apple Watch is just about indistinguishable from Apple’s official Apple Watch bands. Head over to Amazon now and you’ll find more than two dozen color options in stock with prices that start at just $5.99. There are also different bundles available with multiple colors in one pack, and that drops the per-band price to as little as $4.62.

• Sony’s big PS5 announcement turned out to be a boring affair for the hundreds of thousands of fans who flocked to YouTube in hope of seeing the console for the first time.
• The PlayStation 5 announcements seemed to target developers more than gamers who are looking to buy the console, as Sony didn’t reveal anything juicy about the device.
• The PS5 specs will match the Xbox Series X for the most part, and the tech Sony developed for the console is fascinating, if you’re into that. Otherwise, you’re back to waiting for an actual PS5 reveal and there’s no telling when that might happen.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

You only needed a few minutes of watching Sony’s big PlayStation 5 event on Wednesday to realize that Sony was about to ruin its huge PS5 reveal for all its gamers. Don’t get me wrong, Sony’s revelations about the various technologies that go into the development of the PS5 are certainly interesting. But what Sony’s lead PS5 system architect Mark Cerny gave a presentation that can only cater to a particular type of audience: developers. Sony’s PS5 announcement would have been fine had Sony wanted to reach the boredom levels that Google and Microsoft aim for with certain sections of their I/O and Build events. Then again, those events also contain plenty of announcements for consumers, not just for the developers in the audience who will use those software innovations to provide new experiences for those Google and Microsoft devices. Sony’s event on Wednesday was even more annoying than that, as the entire PS5 presentation felt like an internal presentation for game developers. That’s because it was the GDC keynote Sony had planned but never got the chance to host because the coronavirus pandemic caused the event to be canceled.

Sony fans in the audience did not expect that, however. If you followed the pre-recorded event live of YouTube, you’ve probably noticed that more than 600,000 fans sat through it. You’ve probably seen the comments section too, rolling up in real-time and asking for Sony to actually reveal PS5 details that matter to gamers. And you’ve probably noticed the massive amount of hate the clip got — the video had over 25,000 dislikes when Cerny finished the keynote, and that number went up to 55,000 as of the time of this writing.

• Amazon’s virtual personal assistant Alexa is definitely one of the retail giant’s greatest creations, and so many people can’t imagine life without it.
• People love Alexa so much in their homes, but then they lose access to Alexa when they go out since Echo speakers can’t travel with them.
• Amazon is well aware of that limitation, and that’s exactly why the company created the Echo Auto, which makes Alexa accessible in your car while you drive.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

If you’re like me, you no longer view Alexa as a luxury. No, Amazon’s virtual personal assistant is definitely a necessity these days, and I can’t even remember what life was like before I had Alexa to do my bidding. Alexa turns the lights on and off for me, it shows me who’s at my front door on my Echo Show, it makes my coffee in the morning, and it even arms my alarm system at night. I’m so used to having the ability to speak commands to Alexa that I have definitely caught myself doing it once or twice when I wasn’t even in range of an Echo speaker. Oops!

The only complaint I might have about Alexa is that it’s not easily accessible once I leave my house. Or at least, that used to be the case before I got my hands on one of Amazon’s newest Alexa smart devices. It’s called the Echo Auto, and it’s basically an Echo Dot for your car. It gives you hands-free access to all the Alexa skills you love, and it plays Alexa’s voice or streaming music through your car’s speakers. It’s fantastic, and it’s on sale right now for just $34.99 instead of $50.

Here’s some of the important info from the Amazon page:

• Your voice is in the driver’s seat: Just ask Alexa to play music, continue your Audible audiobook, check your calendar, find nearby businesses, or make calls. With 8 microphones, Echo Auto even hears you over road noise. Echo Auto starts up in seconds, works through your car speakers, and uses your existing smartphone plan.
• How does Echo Aut work? Echo Auto connects to Alexa through your phone’s Alexa app and plays through your car’s speakers via auxiliary input or your smartphone’s Bluetooth connection. Each time you start your car make sure your phone’s volume is up and set your car stereo to the correct input. Then say “Alexa”—wait for the chime—and ask.
• Hands-free news and entertainment: Echo Auto uses the Alexa app to access your favorite content. Just ask Alexa to play a song, genre, artist, or station from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, and more. With TuneIn and iHeartRadio, listen to local radio stations or thousands more from around the world. With Audible, listen to the world’s largest library of audiobooks. Plus, stream podcasts, listen to the news, or keep the whole car entertained with games like Jeopardy!, 20 Questions, and more.
• Make the most of your drive: Update to-do lists, set reminders, or check calendars while your eyes stay on the road. Just ask for directions and Alexa connects to supported apps like Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze on your phone. Alexa can even help you make calls, drop In on compatible Echo devices at home, or send an Announcement that you’re on your way.
• Alexa has skills: With tens of thousands of skills and counting, Alexa is always getting smarter. Skills are like apps and let you play road trip games like HeadsUp!, find the cheapest gas with GasBuddy, get help parking with ParkWhiz or ParkBob, or even get roadside assistance with Nationwide or Urgent.ly.

• Dyson is the most recognizable name in the vacuum industry and the company’s various cordless and corded vacuum models outperform almost everything else on the market.
• Unfortunately, the best always comes at a cost and Dyson’ vacuums are also among the most expensive options out there.
• Amazon is running a one-day Gold Box deal on the renewed Dyson Ball Multi Floor 2 Upright Vacuum, dropping it to just $174.99 until the end of the day on Wednesday.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Dyson makes some of the best cordless and corded vacuums in the world right now, and we doubt anyone would argue with that. Dyson models offer incredibly strong suction and great designs that people love, but there’s a downside to Dyson as well: The company’s various vacuum models are all very expensive.

Not everyone wants to spend $300, $500, or even $700 or more on a vacuum, so thankfully there are a bunch of other great options out there. If you want a cordless vacuum, we strongly recommend the $350 BISSELL ICONpet Cordless Vacuum, which is on sale right now at Amazon for just $199. If you want a corded vacuum for those tough messes that a stick vacuum simply can’t handle, there’s a fantastic opportunity on Wednesday to pick up a Dyson model with a deep discount.

BISSELL ICONpet Cordless with Tangle Free Brushroll, SmartSeal Filtration, Lightweight Stick Ha…: $199.00

Amazon is running a terrific one-day Gold Box deal that slashes the price of the wonderfully powerful Dyson Ball Multi Floor 2 Upright Vacuum to just $174.99. It’s renewed, but it’s guaranteed to work like new and you have a full 90 days to return it if you’re unhappy with your purchase for any reason. Considering how unbelievably powerful the Ball Multi Floor 2 corded vacuum is, we doubt you’ll be returning it.

This deal is only available until the end of the day on Wednesday. Also, remember that these are renewed vacuums which means there’s a limited supply.

Dyson Ball Multi Floor 2 Upright Vacuum, Yellow (Renewed): $174.99

Here are some key details from Amazon’s product page:

The Dyson Ball Multi Floor 2 has unrivaled Dyson Suction*, and is light to maneuver. A slimmer design allows the Multi Floor 2 to turn on a dime, steering easily into difficult spaces. It’s ideal for homes with hardwood, tile, and carpets. The Multi Floor 2 has an advanced self-adjusting cleaner head that automatically adjusts between all floor types – sealing in suction for a powerful clean across your entire home. Its wand and hose release in one smooth action to make it easier to clean up high and under furniture. With hygienic bin emptying, there’s no need to get your hands dirty – just push the button to release the dirt. Whole-machine HEPA filtration ensures that allergens and bacteria are trapped inside the machine, not expelled back into the home. *Suction tested to ASTM F558 at the cleaner head, dust-loaded against upright market.

• Sony finally unveiled the PlayStation 5 on Wednesday, nearly a year after the console was announced in an interview between lead system architect Mark Cerny and Wired.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

We know almost all there is to know about the Xbox Series X, but Sony has been tight-lipped about the PlayStation 5 up until now. That finally changed on Wednesday, as the official PlayStation Twitter account announced that PS5 lead system architect Mark Cerny would “provide a deep dive into PS5’s system architecture, and how it will shape the future of games” in a video on the PlayStation Blog at 9 AM PDT / 12 PM EDT.

As Cerny says at the beginning of the video, there will be plenty of time to show off the PS5 and the games that will launch alongside it later in the year, but for now, Sony is focusing on the specific hardware details that it would have announced at the Game Developers Conference, had it not been canceled due to the coronavirus.

• Drive-thru coronavirus testing locations are being set up across the United States and in several other countries.

• Results can take days to be reported, but newer tests promise to produce results in as little as 90 minutes.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

The coronavirus pandemic has everyone on edge, and anyone with even the slightest of flu-like symptoms wants to get tested as soon as possible. Drive-thru testing facilities have been set up in many states, offering patients a way to safely get tested without endangering the health of others. But what does such a test actually entail? Thanks to Lauren Petracca of The Post and Courier in Charleston, South Carolina, we can see the entire process first-hand.

As she explains on Twitter, Petracca began to experience flu-like symptoms a few days before getting tested. She was directed to the drive-thru testing location by her local hospital and recorded the entire thing.

It hasn’t even been a full week since my household went into self-quarantine in an effort to help “flatten the curve” and slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, but it’s already blatantly obvious that we’re not going to get through this without our gadgets. Sure, we enjoy each other’s company, we’ve got plenty of books to read, and there are other offline things we could be doing. But we still find ourselves spending most of our time on our computers, on our smartphones, and watching streaming content on TV. After all, it’s the perfect time to catch up on all the awesome Netflix shows we missed!

We expect to be living like this for quite some time since the COVID-19 pandemic has only just begun to sweep across the United States. Needless to say, we’ve never been as reliant on electricity and connectivity as we are right now. So what happens when the power goes out? We’re covered, and you can be too thanks to Amazon’s one-day deal that slashes the APC BE550G UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector to just $49.99.

APC UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector, 550VA Uninterruptible Power Supply (BE550G): $49.99

Normally priced at $80, the APC BE550G looks like a bloated power strip and that’s because there’s a huge 550VA battery inside. In the event that you lose power in your home, the backup battery kicks on immediately and continues powering all connected devices for hours until the power comes back on. We have our cable modem and router connected to our UPS, so we never lose internet access when the power goes out. Then we also connect our laptops and phones to keep them charged.

As an added bonus, there’s also a one-day deal on the APC PH6U4X32 Smart Plug Surge Protector on Amazon right now. You know how smart plugs let you control any of your “dumb” devices from your smartphone or with voice commands thanks to Alexa support? Well, this smart power strip is just like that, but it’s six smart plugs in one! It normally sells for $60 but you can snag one (or more) on Amazon for just $34.99 if you do it before the end of the day.
