Apple is preparing to comply with a U.S. import ban on its smartwatches after a federal trade agency found the company violated patents of a competitor. As a result, Apple will halt sales of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the U.S., both online and in stores, starting on December 21 and December 24 respectively. The ban will not affect previously sold watches or the older SE model.
Apple will temporarily halt sales of its Series 9 and Ultra 2 smartwatches in the United States due to a patent dispute with medical technology company Masimo. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) had previously ordered a potential ban on Apple Watch imports, citing patent violations. The decision is currently under review by President Joe Biden until December 25. If the ruling stands, the ban would go into effect on December 26. Apple intends to appeal the decision and is working on technical options to ensure the availability of its watches. The sales pause will not affect other Apple Watch models or sales outside of the United States.
Apple plans to stop selling the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the US due to an ongoing patent dispute with medical device maker Masimo over its blood oxygen feature. The US International Trade Commission ruled in October that Apple violated Masimo's pulse oximeter patent, and President Biden has 60 days to review the ruling before a ban could go into effect. Apple disagrees with the order and is pursuing legal and technical options. Other Apple Watch models will remain available for purchase, but an import ban would impact Apple Watch Series 6 and later, and all models of Apple Watch Ultra imported after the review period. Apple sold 49 million smartwatches in 2022 and about 26.7 million in the first 9 months of 2023.
Apple will stop selling its latest smartwatches, including the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, in the US due to a patent dispute with Masimo Corp.

The sales halt will impact Apple's core product line during the holiday season, potentially affecting its first-quarter revenue. Apple plans to appeal the decision and believes the ruling is erroneous. The watches will still be available through third-party retailers.
Apple has announced that it will halt sales of its latest smartwatches, including the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, due to a patent dispute over the devices' blood-oxygen sensor. The move comes after a federal trade agency found that Apple violated the patent of medical technology company Masimo. Apple has decided to preemptively stop sales while pursuing legal and technical options to ensure availability to customers. Sales of the smartwatches will continue outside of the U.S. Apple has also accused Masimo of stealing patented features from Apple for its own smartwatch.

Apple will halt sales of its flagship Apple Watch models, the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, in the United States following an International Trade Commission (ITC) ruling in a patent dispute with medical technology company Masimo.

The lower-end Apple Watch SE, without this sensor, remains unaffected. Apple plans to appeal the decision and is exploring other options, including settlement and licensing agreements.
U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen celebrates the commitment of several major retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Etsy, and Alibaba, to stop selling water beads marketed to children by the end of the year. Water beads, colorful balls that absorb liquid and can cause serious injuries if swallowed, have been linked to thousands of injuries and at least one death. Pettersen urges parents to remain cautious when shopping for toys this holiday season, as the removal of water beads from store shelves may not be immediate.
