Apple gets a reprieve on its Watch ban, at least temporarily

[thewayne]

A Federal appeals court blocked the import ban of Apple Watches on December 27 following an appeal by Apple to the court and to the ITC, allowing Apple to temporarily resume sales of the Watches on its web site until at least January 10 when presumably the ITC might be able to hear Apple's appeal. President Biden did not act on the appeal on his desk before his deadline, allowing the ban to go into effect.

What happens now is anyone's guess. I think Apple was pretty blatant in stealing the tech for monitoring blood oxygen and should be punished, whether it rates a ban or a whomping huge fine, I don't know.

I vote for the ban.
A fine would have to be massive to make them blink. :o

I wonder who they paid off, ahem.

A temporary reprieve, and now the appeals will happen as far as they can go to keep that reprieve going, at least until Apple can get someone who will rule their way.
