Apple faces a ban on certain Watch sales in the U.S. due to patent infringement claims by Masimo. The International Trade Commission ruled in favor of Masimo, leading to a ban on Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 imports. The Biden administration declined to reverse the decision, impacting Apple's sales. Apple has appealed the decision and submitted a proposed redesign for U.S. customs approval. The legal dispute involves patent infringement and retaliatory lawsuits, impacting Apple's wearables business.
