The blood oxygen monitoring functionality that was removed on certain Apple Watch models in the U.S. is making a return
The International Trade Commission (ITC) introduced a ban hammer on the Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 for infringing on Masimo’s patents, forcing the company to disable the blood oxygen monitoring sensor for users in the U.S. While Masimo believed that justice was served, Apple has just issued a press release in which it has stated that the feature is making a return, and its functionality will be restored using the firm’s intelligent tactics, because how else will you become a trillion-dollar giant if you do not think outside the box?With blood oxygen monitoring restored, Apple Watch owners can measure key metrics from the ‘Blood Oxygen’ app
In the latest press release, Apple mentions that smartwatch owners who currently do not have access to the blood oxygen feature can start using it by updating their paired iPhone to iOS 18.
