Re/code reported on Wednesday evening that Apple Inc. AAPL is no longer selling Jawbone Up and Nike Inc's NKE FuelBand in its stores. The publication cited checks at major stores in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Los Angeles and New York that no longer carry these activity-tracking wristbands that could compete with the company's new Watch product. In fact, the report noted that Apple has been removing fitness trackers from its stores since last April, with the most recent refresh of its accessories happening this year.
