CUPERTINO, Calif.—Apple on Thursday stopped online sales of two popular models of its internet-connected watch in the United States after losing its latest attempt to untangle a patent dispute that’s blocking it from using some of the technology on the device.
Both the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 became unavailable to order online beginning at 3 p.m. ET, as the company followed through on its plan to suspend sales of them because of a legal battle over an intellectual property claim filed by medical technology company Masimo.
