- Apple Watch fans must recover the blood oxygen function in certain watches, after a demand from the Masimo Health Technology Company
- The characteristic now implies a slight solution, in which the measurement can only be shown on an iPhone
- Masimo is demanding the United States Customs Department for allowing the solution to continue
Apple Watch users in the US.
The characteristic was eliminated for the United States fans after the Masimo Health Technology Company demanded Apple, claiming that Masimo’s intellectual property intentionally violated through its patented blood oxygen function. As a result, the function was temporarily disabled in Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 2.
However, a solution meant that Apple Watch could add the function through its new Watchos 26 software, and it has already reached some watches that participate in the Beta Public Beta Beta program.
The solution is that, although Apple Watch can record blood oxygen, it can only present that information in the health application on an iPhone.
Masimo does not like this and has filed another demand, this time pointing to US customs, instead of Apple herself. Masimo is demanding the United States government for (according to demand through this BGR report), “leave illegally[ting] Apple Inc. reactive a blood oxygen monitoring function in Apple watches that violates technology. “
Will I receive blood oxygen in my Apple Watch?
We don’t know. At the moment, if registered in the Public Beta program, it should already have the function.
It remains to be survived until the widest launch in September, or if the United States government will be pressed for this demand to take measures and prohibit the solution.
