The Series 9 & Ultra 2 watches are available for purchase again from the Apple Store for the time being after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit placed a short pause on the ban\'s enforcement. In the meantime, Apple is pursuing a software fix to avoid another import ban on its watches. A new iPad did not get shipped in 2023. And could the Vision Pro be released in late January / early February?
