Apple has halted sales of Apple Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 due to a potential ban by the US International Trade Commission (ITC) over a dispute with Masimo regarding a patent for the blood-oxygen sensor. The ban will only affect imports into the US, allowing the watches to continue selling in other countries. The ruling does not affect the Watch SE, but does impact the availability of the Series 9 and Series Ultra.
