Tim doesn't run Apple? You actually think that Apple's patent lawyer tells Tim what to do, or that Tim was unaware? Either of your theories still indicates Tim is either ignorant or incompetent. I choose both.
Wrong on both counts. Anybody who can tell the exact story from an apple perspective on MR is an insider. Apple is one to do a coin toss. Whatever happened until now was one of a set of considered possibilities; especially if apple thinks it can win on appeal.
How can you infer that it is "arrogance" or "greed"? It could be way more complicated than that. He is a CEO and may have been told by other more tech knowledgeable SVP or VP that we are clear. We have no idea as the public what they had discussed.
I highly doubt anyone posotmg here understands the merits of this case. Myself included.
Probably because apple doesn’t sell the older ones anymore
I may be mistaken but I think Apple doesn't sell older models in the first place regardless of ban, so only SE was left as a option.
Tim Cook is definitely re-thinking his political donations lol.
It indeed would be, as nothing would show the decline of a nation better, then its people judging its future leader over a watch.
If they disabled the O2 sensor after I bought the watch, I'd sue Apple. Me and millions of others as well. Apple got caught stealing from another company and now has to pay for it. They can afford to pay. So what if Apple looses a couple of billion dollars? Who would care?
Read the patient. It is very obvious what is covered and the language is not very technical. Masimo seems to have invented something basic and new and has a fundamental patent. It is as if they came up with the idea that round objects can be used as "wheels". There is no way to make not-round wheels. roundness is not just a detail that could be done with some other shape. Masim's patent is kind of like roundness. They invented the idea of using coloreed LEDs that are held in place in the skin, even the idea that there needs to be a "bump" on the device to force the LED into skin contact. There is no "software fix" for this. Look it up. The patent is online
This is an indefensible take unless you think the “little guy” (comparatively speaking - Masimo is a multi billion dollar company) winning is a good unto itself, which is laughably simplistic. An import ban is bad for the public, full stop. And since patents only ultimately exist to advance the public good, a result that is obviously bad for the public shouldn’t happen under a properly functioning patent system.
Not at all. I’ve never used mine once. I’ve talked to other Apple Watch users and prospective buyers countless times and never once heard someone mention blood ox. Anecdotal, sure, but I doubt most users know it’s there, let alone buy for that feature.
Changing the law is exactly what I’m advocating, thanks.
Negotiation in the first instance, and binding arbitration (with an evidentiary hearing) if that fails to produce an agreement. it’s a minor feature in a consumer product with a fixed price. Not exactly unknowable.
Disable on new sales. We’re not talking about existing devices, just like an import ban doesn’t require Apple to come to your house and take your old watch.
