The recently imposed ban on sale/import of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 has been temporarily lifted by a US Court of Appeals order. While online sale has resumed today, all Apple Stores will have them in stock by December 30. Meanwhile, the ITC will have a chance to argue for reinstating the ban, which follows a lawsuit over the pulse oximetry technology used in the watch.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-Watch-sales-resume-after-US-Appeals-Court-pauses-ban.787751.0.html
Outcome of these cases is always unpredictable, but Masimo isn't a small boy who can be bullied around.
Meanwhile Apple will use the pause to import enough to stock shelves for a while.
