So one of the largest, most profitable companies of all time, stole some tech, got caught and slapped on the wrist. It's going to end up costing them 3 minutes of profit and they are balking. Maybe.

Fucking capitalism.

That's a great reason to not start or operate business in the US

Of course they did.....

Looks like they’re still unavailable online.

That said, I walked past an Apple Store today, and I was surprised about how busy the watch tables were. I wonder if they were selling existing inventory. Or maybe there was just a flood of people burning Christmas gift cards on SE Watches.

That foot traffic would be surprising for what is basically a 5 year old Apple Watch 4 without ECG.

Only non-Apple stores can continue selling, to get rid of back stock

Looks like Apple was likely selling the pulse oximeter watches in-store yesterday.
