Apple said Monday it will stop selling Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 starting starting Thursday on Apple.com and from retail locations after December 24 after a recent ruling by the U.S. International Trade Commission that found Apple was in violation of medical company Masimo’s pulse oximeter patent. That technology uses light to read blood-oxygen levels. Apple introduced a pulse oximeter feature utilizing that method in 2020 in its Apple Watch Series 6 lineup.
The possibility of having these models banned remains a possibility unless Apple makes substantial changes – perhaps in both software (easier) and hardware (will take months) – or if the ruling is vetoed by the White House during a review period that ends December 25th. Apple said it is “preemptively taking steps to comply should the ruling stand” by removing Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 from the market earlier.
Right now, while supplies last, you can still get Apple Watch Series 9 (for 18% off) and Apple Watch Ultra 2 (for 6% off) in the United States via Amazon here.
MacDailyNews Take: If the ITC ruling is not vetoed, and a hardware change is required, expect Apple to pay up and settle this imbroglio with an offer that Masimo cannot refuse.

Innovation, my ass. Its called theft. Thanks Timmy
Right on…
Who is stupid enough to think its not theft and downvote this post? Out yourselves and announce your stupidy to the world!!!
Some idiots called Sam,GoeB,and Georg have already outed themselves as ……well, “idiots”.
The “steal” here is Mosimo stealing Apples earnings based on a bullshit patent that has been available for 50 years.
The “steal” is enabled by technically challenged US agencies.
The “steal” is cheered on by diengenuous idiots like Sam, GoeB, and George whose only interest is to make money for themselves by hook or by crook.
