The hosts discuss the recent ban on Apple Watch imports after Christmas day and the potential consequences for Apple. They explore Best Buy's strategy in buying stock before the ban and speculate on the importance of certain features on the watch. They also highlight Apple's efforts to comply with the International Trade Commission and the possibility of halting sales of certain models.
This week, Marques, Andrew, and David were hoping for a nice, easy week of news. But they were wrong!
