"Apple Alters Smartwatches to Avoid Import Ban"
TL;DR Summary
Apple plans to remove pulse oximeters from its smartwatches to circumvent an import ban imposed by the International Trade Commission following a complaint from medical device manufacturer Masimo. The ban specifically targets the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, and Apple is seeking a permanent stay on the ban pending its appeal. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has agreed to technical changes to the watches, and the company is expected to decide this week on the appeal.
