You can still buy the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 at third-party retailers, even if Apple itself can't sell them right now for legal reasons. But according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple staff are apparently not allowed to tell customers this.
Instead, Gurman reports Apple team members are instructed to tell you: “Unfortunately, due to the ongoing legal matter, I am not able to provide you with any information about where you can buy Apple Watch Series 9 or Ultra 2.” They're also ordered "not to speculate with customers on when or how the matter would be resolved," the report elaborates.
