After an unfavorable US International Trade Commission ruling, Apple is no longer selling its Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the United States because of a patent dispute. Some older models of the Apple Watch, as well as the cheaper Apple Watch SE, were not part of the ruling and remain in stock, even on Apple’s website and store. The ban only includes the Apple Watch Series 6 and later and all models of Apple Watch Ultra. As of Tuesday afternoon, Best Buy was still selling the Apple Watch in multiple colors, starting at $399. Target is beginning to sell out of certain colors of the Apple Watch Series 9.
