Great news as Apple Watch sales resume on the brand’s official website despite the ITC ban. This move was taken after a federal appeal court put a hold on the ban as they conducted their investigations into the Apple and Masimo case. Following this move from the appeal court, Apple resumed the sale of its new watches on their official website.
About two days ago, physical stores resumed the sale of these watches, but now the official online store in the US is making these watches available for purchase. Well, at this point, these watches aren’t available in all regions in the US as Apple is still working to get them back to the shelves of some physical stores. According to the available reports, most stores will have supplies of these watches by tomorrow.
This is a small window of opportunity that Apple has to put new watches on the wrists of more people in the US. The hold on the ITC ban by the federal appeal court will only last for a few days before the court’s hearing. January 12 is the set date for the hearing of this case by the US Customs and Border Protection body.
Their decision on this date will seal the fate of Apple’s new watch, the Series 9 and the Ultra 2. A sale ban Is a result of Masimo’s claim that these watches are using their patented technology without approval. Apple denies these allegations, but both the ITC and the White House are taking the plaintiff’s side by supporting the sale ban.
As Apple Watch sales resume in the US, those who hoped to get their hands on these new entries will be able to do so. In the coming days, we’ll get to learn more about the fate of the watches. So if you live in the US and wish to purchase the new Series 9 or Ultra 2, you can do so now online or via a physical Apple Store.
