Not a legal nerd 🤓 here but this really explains why Apple tried bringing it back.
But in that alternative approach and proving the courts wrong with having the data shown on the paired iPhone.
Masimo is suing CBP.
“Masimo on Wednesday also asked the court for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to block enforcement of CBP’s Aug. 1 ruling. The company wants to restore the January decision, reached after a proceeding in which both Apple and Masimo participated, that allowed imports only if the oxygen-tracking function was disabled.” Bloomberg Law

Even y’all this just popped up on my feed.
Bruh can it be banned again for this reason?
If that reversal happens where blood oxygen gets taken away again then I will have to delay on my next Apple Watch upgrade until my watch really falls apart.
Was planning on getting a secondary watch in the future.
My launch day Ultra 1 is still working well, battery health is my only concern. I do plan on upgrading in September and keep my Ultra 1 for sleeping.
Same here, even AppleCare replacement in the USA they’ll give you a model that would have the LW/A like the series 10s. I was thinking about it too as my AW6’s battery health hits the 88 percentage point after a year
(And yes I got an older model due to the initial ban, I got it new in 2024 for the series 6)
