Apple’s bid to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to keep the Apple Watch as-is on the market has failed. As a result, the Apple Watch sales and import ban resumes imminently.
To work around the ban, Apple has devised a software patch, which disables the feature. It’s not yet clear if this will apply to every Apple Watch on the market, but preliminary indication are that it will only apply to devices it imports and sells.
