Apple has halted online sales of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the United States.

Earlier this week, the company announced that it would stop online sales at 3pm on December 21 and retail sales after December 24 to comply with an import ban ordered by the International Trade Commission. Apple has been found guilty of infringing on patents held by Masimo Corporation and Cercacor Laboratories, Inc. with its blood oxygen feature.

Technically, President Biden has until December 25th to veto the ITC’s ruling; however, we’ve haven’t seen any signals to suggest that will happen. If Biden does not veto the ruling, Apple says it will “take all measures to return Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 to customers in the U.S. as soon as possible.”

Notably, the Apple Watch is still available at third party retailers. The Apple Watch Series 9 is currently on sale at Amazon.com for $329 (down from $399) and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is on sale for $699 (down from $799). It’s likely these prices will go up if inventory dries out.

Apple's second generation AirTag tracker has purportedly been delayed until 2025, according to a new report from TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

In a recent post on X, Kuo said:

The mass production schedule for AirTag 2 has been postponed to 2025.

This updates an earlier prediction from the analyst where he said that AirTag 2 would go into mass production in 4Q24.

Kuo believes that Apple wants to build a spatial computing ecosystem, using Vision Pro as the core to integrate other devices, including AirTag 2. Vision Pro is set to launch in Q1 2024, but it appears that we may have to wait for at least a year to see how Apple will integrate AirTag 2.

Apple has announced a 'Scary Fast' special event that will be held on October 30, 2023. The event will take place virtually at 5pm PT / 8pm ET.

Considering the 'Scary Fast' tagline, it's possible that the company will introduce a new M3 processor on October 30. This would be a change from the typical release cycle which has seen new processors arrive to the MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro before making their way to the more powerful 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro.

Also interesting is the time of the event. Apple is airing the stream at 8pm ET which is very unusual. Typically, Apple events take place at 1pm ET.

Apple is working on a new system that will be able to update the software of unopened iPhones, according to a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Often when customers purchase a new iPhone, the device has been sitting in its box for quite some time, missing out on important software updates. For example, the iPhone 15 shipped with iOS 17, but iOS 17.0.1 was available by the time customers received their device. This is not ideal as some important bugs or security vulnerabilities may have been addressed in the more recent software update.

Gurman says Apple is working on a way to resolve this problem.

Apple is planning a new system for its retail stores that will update the software on iPhones prior to sale. The company has developed a proprietary pad-like device that the store can place boxes of iPhones on top of. That system can then wirelessly turn on the iPhone, update its software and then power it back down — all without the phone's packaging ever being opened.

It's possible that Apple could begin rolling out this new capability to retail stores by the end of the year.

France has revealed that Apple will release iOS 17.1 by October 24, 2023.

Last month, the national frequency agency (ANFR) in France, demanded that Apple remove the iPhone 12 from sale after determining that its radiation levels were too high.

In a recent support document, Apple explained that the iPhone boosts transmit power when sensors detect it's off-body. France apparently used a testing protocol that does not account for this, leading to concerns that the iPhone 12 emits too much radiation.

With the release of iOS 17.1, now in testing, Apple will no longer boost power when an off-body state is detected for French users. This will ensure the device passes the ANFR's test; however, it could result in a slight reduction of cellular performance.

France has confirmed that iOS 17.1 brings iPhone 12 into compliance with its guidelines and says Apple has committed to release iOS 17.1 by October 24.
