What seemed impossible a few weeks ago has come to pass: Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch Series 9 sales have been banned in the US after the International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled that the devices infringed patents owned by health company Masimo.

Even before Apple announced the Apple Watch Series 9, there were rumors that the company wanted to replace its leather accessories with something else.
