An International Trade Commission filing showed that Apple has been unsuccessful in its attempt to postpone an upcoming Apple Watch ban. The only way that sales of the watch can be kept going in the U.S. is if the White House intervenes at the last minute.
The International Trade Commission has denied Apple's request to delay a ban on certain Apple Watch models in the United States, meaning the only way the company can prevent their sales from being paused is through a last-minute White House intervention. As a result, two Apple Watch models released this year - the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 - will no longer be available for purchase on Apple's website or in Apple Stores from Thursday, although older models will still be sold. This ban is related to allegations that Apple infringed on the intellectual property of Masimo, a medical technology company. If the ban is not overturned, Apple may be prevented from selling its watches in its largest market during the busiest time of the year. Shares in the company were down slightly since the news broke on Monday and remained flat in extended trading on Wednesday. President Joe Biden has the authority to veto the ban but has not yet indicated if he will do so. Masimo CEO Joe Kiani has criticized Apple for its behaviour, saying that the company has not even responded to attempts to settle the issue outside of court. An Apple spokesperson has stated that the company is taking measures to return the product to the market. potential
