TL;DR Summary

Apple has reportedly started shipping new Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models without the blood oxygen sensor functionality that led to a patent dispute, indicating a software change rather than a hardware one. The company is likely preparing for a potential import ban by US Customs and Border Protection, with a court decision on the appeal expected soon. Current users of the affected watches may not be impacted immediately, but it's advisable to stay informed about any upcoming Apple updates that could potentially affect the functionality of the blood oxygen sensor.
