Apple vows appeal after ban on Apple Watch imports upheld

Apple to appeal ban on newest Apple Watch in the U.S.

In a twist that has left Apple fans biting their fingernails in anticipation, the tech giant has announced its intention to appeal against a trade commission ruling that would halt the import of its latest Apple Watch models into the United States.

Undeterred by this setback, the California-based company is preparing to embark on a legal battle to overturn this ban. But that's not all—Apple has shown its resolve by simultaneously submitting a redesigned version of the timepieces to secure customs approval in the U.S. market.
