Apple is now banned from selling its latest Apple Watches in the US::Apple can no longer sell the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Watch Series 9 in the US. The International Trade Commission issued an import ban on the devices that took effect on December 26th, 2023.
But there’s no reason for Apple to do that it would have been cheaper for them to just pay for the license. I think they didn’t think they’d get called out on it, and now they don’t know what to do.
