US regulators denied Apple's attempt to delay a sales ban on its Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models after regulators previously found that these watches violated patents. Online sales of the Series 9 and Ultra 2 watches in the US must stop by December 21, and retail stores must stop sales by December 24. The only way for Apple to avoid the sales ban before December 25 is if the Biden administration uses its authority to veto the regulators' ruling.
