Apple to stop selling its latest smartwatches after losing patent case to rival that says ‘even the world’s most powerful company must abide by the law’::Sales of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 will be halted on the company’s online store on Dec. 21 and at its physical retail locations beginning on Christmas Eve.
I wasn’t aware that they actually LOST the case, just that it was “disputed”. Wow.
Pulse oximeters retail for about $20, they couldn’t just settle? Offer them back $10 to $15 per watch sold?

Great marketing in the leadup to Xmas. It worked on me, I wanted to get my wife an apple watch for the holiday and when I saw this news I pulled the trigger instantly.
Nice timing, Apple. Dicks.

Apple throwing a tantrum as a holiday FOMO marketing scheme. A new low.
