MBW 902: In The History of Melon Trucks - Apple Watch Ban, iPad & iPad Pro, Vision Pro

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.
