Apple surprised many people this week by halting sales of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the US. It's the first time I can recall that the tech giant has frozen sales of new products just months after their release.
The move is the result of a patent dispute over the devices' light-based blood oxygen feature. The final outcome of that dispute has yet to be decided, but it seems that Apple is preparing for the worst (see our guide to the Apple Watch generations for alternatives).
