9to5Mac reports that the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 will no longer be available to purchase from Apple starting later this week. The International Trade Commission announced its ruling in October, upholding a judge’s decision from January.
This sent the case to the Biden administration for a 60-day Presidential Review Period, which expires on December 25. As the veto timeline is near, the company is proceeding with formal actions to get the sales halted on December 21.
