"Legal Battles and Health Features: Apple's Watch Woes Continue"

Apple is expected to remove the blood oxygen level detection feature from its upcoming Apple Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 models following a patent case ruling by the International Trade Commission. The ruling found that several Apple Watches infringed on patents held by Masimo, a medical technology company. Despite the change, existing Apple Watches with the blood oxygen level detection feature will continue to function as usual. This move represents a setback for Apple's efforts to expand the health features of its smartwatches, which have previously gained FDA approval for heart rate measurement and added capabilities for fall detection and pulse rate monitoring.
