The Apple Watch 9 is back on sale for the first time since the ban was paused

If you’ve been eyeing the Apple Watch 9, you might want to act fast. The latest smartwatch from Apple is back on sale for the first time since the US International Trade Commission (ITC) ordered a ban on its import and sale in the country. The ban was due to a patent dispute with Masimo, a medical technology company that claimed Apple infringed on its patents related to blood oxygen monitoring.

The ban was supposed to take effect on December 26, 2023, but Apple appealed the decision and requested an emergency stay for two weeks. The US Court of Appeals granted the stay on December 27, 2023, allowing Apple to resume selling the Apple Watch 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which also features the blood oxygen sensor12.

However, the stay is only temporary and could be lifted at any time, depending on the outcome of the appeal. That means the Apple Watch 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 could be pulled from the shelves again soon, unless the president or the US Trade Representative intervenes and vetoes the order34.

The Apple Watch 9 is one of the best smartwatches on the market, offering a sleek design, a bright display, a fast processor, and a range of health and fitness features, including the ability to measure blood oxygen levels, heart rate, ECG, sleep, and more. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a premium version of the Apple Watch 9, with a titanium case, a sapphire crystal screen, and a cellular connection.

You can buy the Apple Watch 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 from Apple’s online store or physical locations, as well as from other retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. The prices start at $349 for the 41mm size and $379 for the 45mm size Apple Watch 9, and $699 for the 41mm size and $749 for the 45mm size Apple Watch Ultra 25.

But hurry, because you never know when the ban might be reinstated. This could be your last chance to get your hands on the Apple Watch 9 or the Apple Watch Ultra 2, at least for a while. Don’t miss this opportunity to own one of the most advanced and versatile smartwatches ever made.
