Apple Watch Series 9 (left) and Apple Watch Ultra (right)
Following a recommendation by the US International Trade Commission (ITC) to instigate an Apple Watch import ban in the United States in late October, the ***** administration let its 60-day review window elapse on December 25, and allowed the Apple Watch import ban to go ahead. Now, the import and sale of a number of Apple Watch models are restricted in the United States.
On December 18, Apple said it would pre-emptively stop sales of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the United States, as a just-in-case measure to comply with the ban if it were to go through. Apple ceased sales of the two models from December 21 online, and December 24 in brick and mortar Apple Store locations.
