"Apple to Sell Latest Watches Without Blood Oxygen Feature to Avoid US Ban"

Apple will continue selling its latest Apple Watches in the U.S. by removing the blood oxygen feature, following an intellectual property dispute with Masimo. The modified versions of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 will be available without the feature, as the company battles a court decision that found the watch sensors infringed on Masimo's patents. Apple hopes the appeals court will eventually reverse the decision, but in the meantime, it aims to comply with the ruling while minimizing disruption to customers.
