Apple wins temporary reprieve from the ban on Apple Watch sales

One day after a ban on the import and sale of its two newest Apple Watches became official, Apple managed to buy itself some time.

Shortly after the office of U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai confirmed on Tuesday that the United States would not overturn the International Trade Commission ruling calling for the ban, Apple appealed the decision and submitted an emergency filing to the D.C.-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, seeking a short pause on the ban’s enforcement.
