Apple is halting sales for two of its new smartwatch models – at least for the time being. The Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 will soon no longer be available for purchase in the U.S., with Apple set to drop the device from its website starting at 3 p.m. ET Thursday and its retail stores after Sunday. Both versions of the smartwatch launched in September. The decision comes after the U.S. International Trade Commission determined that Apple’s blood oxygen feature violated medical technology company Masimo's patent rights. Apple said it intends to appeal the decision to the Federal Circuit, arguing that a pause on sales could negatively impact users who rely on Apple Watch safety and health features.
