This right here. If Apple is too cheap to pay for what is legit someone’s IP, then no dice. Talk about greed Tim Crook.

Apple Watch Series 10 Could Have Upgraded Heart Rate Sensor and Better Water Resistance

I set up my Sleep Focus so it only allows notifications from my wife (who, if she's away, wouldn't be calling or texting me during that time unless it was an emergency) - everything else is blocked. Turn that on before I go to bed and I get no notifications through the night.
Apple could acquire the company, give itself irrevocable patent licenses, and sell or split up the company.
That Apple haven’t licensed, or acquired, makes me wonder if the patents in question are about to expire.
Or if they are waiting till the 11th hour and can push a software update to re enable the feature as the hardware is still capable.
Either way, not my problem. You put a feature out, and if it’s gone, so is my interest Apple. It’s a valuable feature for so many reasons.
I know it’s cadence but it’s a right nightmare when running on the spot. According to the watch my heart rate is over 150bpm when in the real world it’s 85-90bpm.
How are they going to charge the same price for less features…taking out a vital feature like that (no pun intended) should warrant Apple lowering the price out of good faith.
Just charge up the iWatch before going to bed.
Many people use their iWatch with various sleep apps to monitor their sleep as many sleep apps have been available for years. It shouldn't use that much battery life overnight, depending on the app.
Otherwise, one would need to go to sleep specialist and get a sleep study to see if a CPAP is needed.
The S9 is still good. Just replace the battery to last another few years.
The must have feature would be a blood pressure sensor. The issue there would be strap on how it'll measure the pressure.
If a future iWatch has such a feature, it's an instant buy.

They did it since January when it was removed. So clearly they will continue to do it and people keep buying them up. Probably unaware of it too.
People could just wait until Monday rather than speculating.
I have Samsung Galaxy Ultra and AW Ultra 2 LTE 49mm. From battery perspective, AWU2 is really excellent it lasts easily two days. But it can't sleep deduct, automatically like Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. SGWU battery life is slightly better than SGW Classic 47mm LTE(I have this as well which is strictly lasts only 36 hrs Max) , but nothing great like AWU2.
SGWU has many good features like BJP Measurement, sleep apnea & blood oxygen measurements (automatic). Better watch faces than AWU2 which are either unavailable in AW or restricted for certain regions.
Purely from the price perspective, SGWU looks good which is $200-$300 less than the AWU2 with more features and almost using same materials.
Same, works just fine on my AWU2 in the UK. Apple better not decide to disable the feature worldwide on the next models because Apple are too cheap to pay to use it.
I’ve been able to be uninterrupted since AWU. Thinking this may be my last Apple Watch.
Yeah, I just can't see them making the smaller one larger. At least I hope not.
I split my use between an old 3 and 6. I bought an 8 since there were fire sales as WalMart for $229, however I've literally used it maybe three times. (Weirdly WalMart blew out GoPro Hero 10s for $150 a few weeks ago, I'm sensing a trend with liquidating old stock items, a heads up for those who are budget conscious and in the USA).
If they do a 5c plastic one with weird bright colors I may be enticed to get another.

Really? iPhone came out in 2007 and basically still has the same design, a rectangular slab…
As for AW, the Ultra clearly is different design - wait, it’s kinda like a rectangular screen on the wrist
Your comment made me curious so I looked it up. Interesting 🤔

As someone who recently had his AW7 replaced (thanks Apple Care+) because it stopped working after a short swim in the sea, I think water resistance can be improved too.
And I agree, operating the watch in the water is basically impossible. It’s essentially “read only” until you expel water and unlock it.
