The White House refuses to reverse the Apple Watch ban, so Apple is appealing

Apple Watch Ultra 2 watch face and straps.

The Apple Watch ban is now in full force after the Biden administration chose not to intervene and reverse the decision to stop sales – and Apple has said it will now appeal a decision that it "strongly disagrees" with.

To recap: Apple has been told to halt sales of the Apple Watch 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the US, over a sensor patent dispute with a company called Masimo. You can no longer buy these products direct from Apple, and as imports into the US have been stopped too, they'll soon be disappearing from third-party retailers too.
