Sonos

At Sonos, all healthcare workers and first responders can take 30 percent off a single purchase on Sonos.com for a limited time. If you fall into this category, you can shop on the Sonos website for the company's speakers, sound bars, or other audio accessories, and add the items to your cart.

At the checkout screen, you'll notice a green button asking to verify your credentials with ID.me, which you can click to fill out your information and work affiliation. After you're verified, Sonos will grant you a one-time use code that is valid for 30 percent off a single purchase.

Sonos Healthcare Worker Discount

This code is valid on all Sonos products and can be used on any purchase worth up to $2,500 before the discount. You can find the promo code box to enter it on the same checkout screen where you clicked the ID.me button. Head to Sonos.com to browse for some of the company's best speakers.

iPhone Cases

Amazon is discounting a collection of official iPhone cases this week, including Silicone Cases and Leather Cases for the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. There are multiple colors on sale for each case, so be sure to visit Amazon to browse each accessory on sale.

California Officials Pretend They 'Agreed' to Let Tesla Factory Reopen

Elon Musk wasn’t asking for permission. Quite the opposite, in fact. On Monday afternoon, the Tesla CEO told the California government to eat shit. He was reopening his factory and they could come cuff him if they wanted.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power's Final Season Is Strong, Brave, and Damn Near Perfect

In a post-Game of Thrones world, it’s hard to get your hopes up. Shows can spend years building toward something, only to let you down. It’s taken two years and five seasons to bring us to the end of Netflix’s She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and I cannot imagine a better way for it to go out.

Apple Considering Offering Audio Versions of News+ Stories

Apple News+ may provide users with an option to listen to audio versions of some stories in the future, according to publishers who spoke with Digiday:

Over the past several months, Apple has been asking the publishers participating in its year-old premium program for permission to produce audio versions of the stories distributed there, according to sources at four different publishers that have heard the pitch.

Apple will handle production costs, and compensate publishers in the same way it compensates them for the written content available on Apple News+, two sources said; Apple metes out 50% of subscriber revenue to publishers based on how much time those subscribers spend with publishers’ content in a 30-day period.

There is no timetable for when the audio versions of stories may launch.

The report also notes that many publishers remain dissatisfied with the revenue they earn from Apple News. In December, one publisher told Digiday that they generate less than $20,000 per month from Apple News+.

Speaking on an earnings call last month, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Apple News had reached 125 million monthly active users, but the company has not provided an update on Apple News+ subscribers since noting that over 200,000 users signed up for the service in the first 48 hours after it launched last year.
