@gruber Contrary to that NYT op-piece stating that unless Biden intervenes, Apple Watch in USA is done as of 2023.12.26, I’d be willing to bet a nicely-spec’d Apple Watch that one will be able to buy that nicely-spec’d Apple Watch on that and many, many subsequent dates.
Not sure what that writer’s motivation was for that pronouncement when there are apparently numerous appeal options available to Apple.

@daringfireball Note that the NYT story is an opinion piece and seems to be hell-bent on that Dec.26 deadline.
This reuters story suggests that there’s a lot more appeals available to Apple. And the stock market doesn’t seem to be too fazed by it either.

@daringfireball it's weird to think that one possible resolution to a lawsuit like this is Apple saying "hm, this company has a market cap of about $4 billion... let's just spend 1/50th of our cash reserve and buy them outright".
