This is the best summary I could come up with:


Online sales will resume tomorrow by 3PM ET, Apple spokesperson Nikki Rothberg told The Verge.

Apple was banned from selling both products in the US after the US International Trade Commission found that the company had violated patents from the medical device maker Masimo.

“Apple’s teams have worked tirelessly over many years to develop technology that empowers users with industry-leading health, wellness and safety features and we are pleased the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has stayed the exclusion order while it considers our request to stay the order pending our full appeal,” Rothberg said in an emailed statement.

Apple pulled sales of the Series 9 and Ultra 2 from its online and physical stores ahead of the ban going into effect on December 26th.

The ban covers devices that include a blood oxygen saturation sensor.

Only the lower-priced Apple Watch SE doesn’t include one and has been able to remain on sale.
