Apple to Halt Sales of Latest Smartwatches Due to Intellectual Property Dispute
The dispute centers around a feature that monitors blood oxygen levels, found in recent Apple Watches.
- Apple is preparing to halt sales of its latest smartwatches, the Watch Ultra 2 and the Watch Series 9, due to an order from the U.S. International Trade Commission on a technical intellectual property dispute.
- The dispute is centered around a feature found in recent Apple Watches that monitors the user's blood oxygen levels.
- Apple confirmed the devices would not be available from its online store starting this week, or in Apple Stores starting the day before Christmas.
- Retailers who already have ample supply of these products can continue selling them as long as they have inventory.
- Apple is pursuing a range of legal and technical options to address the issue and resume sales of its popular smartwatches.
