Apple faces a setback as the International Trade Commission orders the halt of Series 9 and Ultra 2 Apple Watch sales before Christmas. Accused of incorporating trade secrets by tech firm Masimo, Apple complies, pausing online sales from December 21 and in-store sales from Christmas Eve. A Presidential Review Period, lasting until December 25, will determine the ban's fate. Apple disagrees with the order, vowing legal and technical pursuit. The dispute centers on blood oxygen sensing technology. Customers affected are urged to stay tuned for updates as Apple explores options to swiftly return the halted models to the U.S. market.
