Why Apple halts sales of latest smartwatches in US?
为什么苹果停止在美国销售最新的智能手表？
Apple will pause selling Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 in the US starting Thursday (December 21) on its website and in retail stores after Sunday (December 24). This is due to a patent dispute with medical device manufacturer Masimo over the blood oxygen feature in these smartwatches. In October, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) found Apple in violation of Masimo’s patent. President Joe Biden has until December 25 to review this ruling before a ban is enforced.
苹果将从周四（12 月 21 日）开始暂停在美国销售 Watch Series 9 和 Watch Ultra 2，周日（12 月 24 日）之后暂停在零售店销售。这是由于与医疗设备制造商Masimo就这些智能手表中的血氧功能产生了专利纠纷。10月，美国国际贸易委员会（ITC）认定苹果侵犯了Masimo的专利。乔·拜登（Joe Biden）总统必须在12月25日之前审查这一裁决，然后才能执行禁令。
