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.

slapped on the wrist
i watched what you did there
That's a great reason to not start or operate business in the US
There’s a Justice system for the rich and a completely different one for everyone else
Corporations are not people.
Supreme Court can’t hear you over the money stuffed in their ears… louder! Overturn ‘Citizens United’
The common denominator is money
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.
