Apple Inc. will stop selling the latest versions of its smartwatch in the US due to a patent dispute, taking some of its best-selling devices off the market during the busy holiday season.

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, it said in a statement Monday.

The company is preparing for a looming ban of Apple Watch models with a blood oxygen sensor — a feature first added to the lineup in 2020 — that Masimo Corp. says it invented.
