Apple Watch ban: Here’s why you can’t buy one this holiday season

‘Tis the season for hitting checkout on the market’s top tech, yet one of the most popular product lines is disappearing from shelves. An import ban from the International Trade Commission (ITC) may keep Apple’s latest smartwatches out of your cart. Find out everything you need to know about the Apple Watch ban.

Why did Apple stop selling the Apple Watch?

Apple stopped selling the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 in light of a ruling by the US International Trade Commission. The ITC ruled that Apple infringed on two patents from Masimo, a medical device manufacturer. This infringement, the ITC said, necessitates an import ban on the newest Apple Watch models, the Series 9 and Ultra 2, beginning December 26th.
