The iPhone 11 series has been a success story for Apple so far, with launch demand being much better than many industry watchers expected. The iPhone 11’s slightly lower entry price compared to the iPhone XR must have helped boost demand, but the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max have been the big success story of this iPhone generation so far.

We’ve seen several reports lauding Apple’s iPhone 11 sales performance, and the latest one comes from Korea, where Samsung Display has reportedly had to increase its OLED production iPhones. That’s proof that the more expensive Pro phones, which start at $999 or $1,099 depending on size, have been selling even better than Apple imagined.

In the weeks leading up to the launch of Disney’s upcoming streaming service, there have been a few deals that have given subscribers the ability to sign up at a discounted rate. But none of those deals compare to the one that Verizon announced on Tuesday, as the wireless carrier will be giving away a full year of Disney+ to every wireless unlimited customer, new Fios Home Internet customer, and 5G Home Internet customer.

When Disney+ launches on November 12th, Verizon will become the exclusive wireless partner for the service, which means you won’t find a similar deal from any other carrier. Anyone with an unlimited plan or Fios or 5G home internet will be able to activate their Disney+ account on launch day and stream on any supported device.

Sony said that its next-gen PlayStation 5 gaming console will hit stores ahead of the holidays next year, but the company hasn’t announced a firm launch date for the PS5. As with the previous version, a mid-November release would make plenty of sense, since that means the console will be available during the busiest shopping weeks of the year. Sony will be counting on the Christmas shopping season to ship a large number of new consoles to gamers looking to get the best PlayStation experience Sony has to offer. Similarly, Microsoft is expected to launch the next-gen Xbox during the same timeframe, though we don’t have a launch date for the Xbox Scarlett either.

We still have a long wait ahead of us before Sony makes things official, but it turns out that the new PS5’s price and exact release date may have just been revealed in a huge leak.

Like everything else Anker makes, the company’s true wireless earbuds have been universally praised for offering great quality at surprisingly low price points. But if you thought the company’s earlier earbuds were great, just wait until you get a load of Anker’s newest offering. The brand new Anker Soundcore Life P2 True Wireless Earbuds feature a design similar to AirPods, but with even better sound quality and battery life. They also have 4 mics and cVc 8.0 noise reduction, graphene drivers, enhanced bass, IPX7 water-resistance, and fast charging that adds an hour of playback with just a 10-minute charge. They retail for $60 which is already a killer price ($100 less than the cheapest AirPods!), but a special launch discount drops them to $44.99 for a limited time!

Anker Soundcore Life P2 True Wireless Earbuds with 4 Mic, CVC 8.0 Noise Reduction, Graphene Dri…: $44.99

Here are the bullet points from the product page:

• Crystal-Clear Calls via 4 Mics and cVc 8.0 Noise Reduction: Each earbud has two microphones with beamforming noise reduction and cVc 8.0 technology for superior vocal enhancement and background-noise suppression. This ensures your voice is heard clearly on the other end—without interference.
• Incredible Sound Powered By Graphene Drivers: Life P2’s graphene drivers oscillate with extreme precision to girve your music a wider soundstage with exceptional accuracy and clarity across the entire frequency range. Bass is further enhanced by up to 43% by our exclusive BassUp technology which analyzes low frequencies in real-time and instantly intensifies them. aptX audio allows you to stream music with CD-like audio quality thanks to lossless transmission between your device and the wireless earbuds.
• 40-Hour Playtime with Fast Charge: A single charge gives you a full 7 hours of listening, while the charging case extends that to 40 hours. When you’re in a rush and need power fast, simply charge for 10 minutes and get up to 1 hour of playtime.
• IPX7 Fully Waterproof: Life P2 wireless earbuds boast IPX7-rated protection against liquids. The fully waterproof casing allows you to keep your conversation going and the music playing, even if you’re caught in the heaviest of downpours.
• One-Step Pairing: Our proprietary PUSH AND GO technology streamlines the setup process so when you remove the wireless earbuds from the charging case, they’ll automatically connect to the last paired device.
