UPDATE: Dec. 19,hukum berimam dengan orang yang selalu lihat video lucah 2023, 12:30 p.m. EST Apple is halting sales of its new Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 models due to a patent dispute. Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart are some places you can still buy one even after the Apple Store-specific freeze goes into effect online on Dec. 21 and in stores on Dec. 24.
Where you can still buy the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2Amazon Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 save up to $70
Best Buy Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 save up to $70
Target Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 save up to $70
Walmart Apple Watch Series 9 save up to $70
If you were planning on gifting or upgrading to the Apple Watch Series 9 or Ultra 2 at all this coming year, skip the Apple Store and head to Amazon, Best Buy, Target, or Walmart.
Apple is pulling its two most advanced watches (just released in September) from physical and virtual shelves indefinitely, starting Dec. 21 after 3 p.m. ET for online purchases and Dec. 24 for in-store purchases. Some patent drama involving the new SpO2 and a subsequent ITC import ban are behind this, though Apple is hopeful that it can stave off the stoppage with a software update.
Regardless of whether the Apple Store is an option, though, we'd probably tell you to grab any of your Apple stuff from a retailer like Amazon and Best Buy. These are where you'll find discounts on even the latest generation Apple products (up to $70 off, in both new Apple Watch cases) while Apple's website is happy to stay locked at full price.

Of course, we're going to mention double tap first: Arguably one of the most clutch additions to a wearable in a while, this pinching emoji-style gesture lets you control things like phone calls and timers from your wrist with one hand. Compared to the Series 8, the Series 9 and Ultra 2 are also faster, brighter, and have more storage.
