Common Cents Blog: Last chance to buy an Apple Watch! Apple WILL be banned from selling smartwatches in the US TODAY at 5pm!!

Via the Daily Mail. And we have the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 linked below.

Apple will be forced to stop selling its Apple Watch in the US tomorrow over claims the devices are running on stolen technology – after a federal court lifted a pause on the ban.
All Apple stores and third party retailers will be prohibited from selling the latest Series 9 and Ultra 2 models with the blood oxygen feature starting at 5pm EST.
The announcement means the only available Apple watch in the US will be the company's budget SE model.
Industry experts have previously told DailyMail.com it could result in up to a $200 million revenue loss for Apple during one of its most lucrative times of year.
The order comes after Apple was found to have copied patented medical technology from the California-based biotech company Massimo.
A ban on Apple sales was originally slated for December 26 but was lifted temporarily a day later after Apple requested a hold for the duration of the appeals process, but that is likely to take months.
The legal proceedings only affect Apple Watch sales in the US, which accounted for 42 percent of its overall revenue from North America last year. One in three apple watches sold worldwide are sold in the US.
Apple argued it was likely to win its appeal and that keeping the ban in effect would harm the company, its suppliers and the public.
The commission countered that Apple's arguments 'amount to little more' than a patent infringer 'requesting permission to continue infringing.'
US Customs and Border Protection has said that Apple can continue selling the devices in the meantime if it redesigns and replaces the hardware - a process that could take months.

According to Forbes, Kiani has spent at least $60 million fighting Apple in court.
In October, the ITC announced its ruling, finding that the devices infringed on two patents owned by biotech company Masimo, based in California.
Apple decided to halt sales on December 18 in an effort to 'preemptively take steps to comply should the ruling stand.'
'Apple strongly disagrees with the order and is pursuing a range of legal and technical options to ensure that Apple Watch is available to customers,' the company said in a December statement.
The ban went into effect on December 24, which then left the decision to the Biden Administration that opted not to veto a ruling on patent infringements.
It is rare for a president to veto a decision from the ITC, but Apple has benefitted from such an intervention in the past and likely had high hopes it could happen again. But the Biden Administration stayed quiet.
