"Apple Watch Update Disables Blood Oxygen Monitoring, Masimo CEO Seeks Settlement"
TL;DR Summary
After a patent dispute with Masimo, Apple had to remove the blood oxygen feature from the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models sold in the US. This was achieved through a remote update that disabled the feature for new models with a specific identifier. Despite ongoing legal battles, existing Apple Watch users in the US will not be affected. Masimo's CEO has criticized the reliability of the blood oxygen feature and suggested that users may be better off without it.
