Apple Inc is on the verge of pulling its most popular smartwatches from sale at its US physical and online stores to comply with a trade regulation ruling. And while other retailers can continue to sell the devices, Apple has told staffers it can’t let people know.
In a memo to customer service agents about the pending sales halt, employees are told not to point shoppers to places where they can buy the devices. “Unfortunately, due to the ongoing legal matter, I am not able to provide you with any information about where you can buy Apple Watch Series 9 or Ultra 2,” they are told to say.
