"Contested Apple Watch Sales Resume in U.S. Amid Import Ban Controversy"
Apple has resumed selling its Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models after a federal appeals court in Washington D.C. temporarily paused an import and sales ban. The ban, which was a result of a lawsuit by Masimo alleging patent infringement on blood oxygen sensors, could be reinstated depending on upcoming decisions by the International Trade Commission. Apple is working on a redesign of the sensor to address the issue, with the budget-friendly Apple Watch SE unaffected as it lacks the sensor in question. The company argues that the ban would cause significant harm to its business, with the Watch segment generating substantial revenue.
