In order to continue selling two of its newest Apple Watches, Apple has been forced to disable the blood oxygen monitoring app on both after a recent appeals court ruling.
That court decision means that starting today, Thursday, January 18, two flagship Apple Watches – Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 – will no longer be able to detect blood oxygen levels. According to a number of sources, including Bloomberg, the court ruling denied Apple a longer delay of the sales ban—a ban imposed by the U.S. International Trade Commission over a patent dispute with Masimo Corp.
