I doubt they would do that; rather since the court has ruled they will simply not install the app on new watches while the case proceeds.

Masimo has announced a consumer watch.
It wasn't pointless. It got the government's attention and now they're looking into what Apple is doing.

The only way out is for apple to sell the entire apple watch business to Masimo for $1 and let Masimo sell all future apple watches replete with O2 functionality!
As far as I am aware, Masimo is privately held, so that would not be as easy as buying out, say, the New York Times.
Wait until Apple sues them for violating watch patents Apple has. Get out the popcorn, folks.

It rained in Detroit in 2018, so the Rangers won the World Series in 2023.
There is strong suspicion that this watch was developed in support of their legal strategy, and wouldn’t exist otherwise! Never the less, fair play to them.

They're not, and they lost a proxy fight last year because the CEO is running the company into the ground and wiping out billions in valuation as he does so.

It’s not going to be removed from existing watches. Just (possibly) new ones going forward.
Why do people always assume Masimo is up for sale?
Apple can tell when a watch is manufactured/sold via the serial number.
First, People aren't going to buy a crippled product for the same price as the full-featured one.
Second, Software isn't going to work around a hardware patent.
Apple has two choices: license the darn patents, or prove that they aren't valid to begin with. But trying to pretend that it doesn't infringe on them clearly isn't working.

This isn't even a question—100% certainty it will only be disabled on newly sold Watches.
The wild card here is if you need a warranty replacement - those will have the feature disabled if they were imported after tomorrow.
Actually would super easy the watches sold since the ban could just have a new model number
Any publicly traded I always up for sale. Only quetions are "How much?" and "Can you raise the funds?"
Not true, US CBP has already found that Apple disabling the O2 sensor complies with the order and that Watches can again be imported and sold.
Apple will pull out the LEDs and photodetectors to save money. It will have an obvious hardware difference.
Right now, if Apple deletes the SpO2 app, the hardware is useless anyway.
