"Apple Faces Ban on Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 Over Blood Oxygen Monitor Dispute"
TL;DR Summary
Apple is now selling Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models in the US without functional blood oxygen monitoring features, following a ruling by the US International Trade Commission (ITC) that found the company had violated patents related to light-based blood-oxygen monitoring. The company modified the watches to comply with the ban, and while it's appealing the decision, it has introduced redesigned models without the blood oxygen feature. Customers who previously purchased models with the feature will not be impacted, and the modified watches will still have the blood monitoring app, but with a message indicating the feature is no longer available.
