Apple will pause selling Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 in the US starting Thursday (December 21) on its website and in retail stores after Sunday (December 24). This is due to a patent dispute with medical device manufacturer Masimo over the blood oxygen feature in these smartwatches. In October, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) found Apple in violation of Masimo's patent. President Joe Biden has until December 25 to review this ruling before a ban is enforced.
