US halts Polestar’s US future-model sales from 2027 onward

The US Commerce Department declined to authorize imports of Polestar cars starting with model year 2027 due to a rule barring connected cars from automakers with Chinese links, effectively stopping new Polestar models in the US beyond existing stock. Polestar will continue servicing current vehicles (e.g., Polestar 3/4) and supporting customers, but future models like the Polestar 5/6 won’t be sold in the US. Polestar is owned by Zhejiang Geely Holding, with production spread across the US (Polestar 3 in South Carolina), Korea, and China; Volvo’s MY27 imports were authorized separately.

"Apple's Strategy to Avoid US Import Ban: Removing Blood-Oxygen Tool from Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2"

Apple will be able to bypass the US import ban on Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 by removing the Blood Oxygen app from the devices, following a patent dispute with Masimo. The company has already shipped modified units to its US locations but is awaiting approval to sell them. The decision may be upended if the International Trade Commission disagrees with the US Customs and Border Protection's determination. Apple's concession won't affect existing users with the app, and the company may roll out a new version of the app once the patent issue is resolved.
