Apple’s Watch problems could be fixed as soon as this week if one quick fix is accepted — sales ban could be avoided completely if US customs agency accepts software update change

Apple Watch Ultra 2 Series 9 and Watch SE together.

With a huge software change to the Apple Watch set to potentially solve its legal dispute with Masimo, January 12 may be monumental for Apple.

As reported by Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, on January 12, a potential software fix to avoid infringing on the blood oxygen patent from Masimo could make its way onto Apple Watches. It is currently dependent on the US customs agency. If the update fails to fix the problem through, Apple is expected to arrive at the Court of Appeals on January 15 to attempt to overturn the ban entirely.
