Apple Watch ban news hub: Everything you need to know

Apple Watch ban news hub: Everything you need to know
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

check blood oxygen with Apple Watch

The Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 are embroiled in an ongoing ITC situation, which briefly barred the devices from being sold in the United States last month. This comes after the ITC ruled that the Apple Watch’s blood oxygen sensor infringes on two patents held by medical device company Masimo.

As it stands right now, Apple is still selling the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 in the United States, but with the blood oxygen features disabled due to the ITC ruling.

Can I still buy an Apple Watch with blood oxygen features from other retailers?

Yes, for the time being, you can still buy an Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 from third-party retailers like Best Buy and Amazon, and they will still have the blood oxygen app and features.

The ITC’s decision only impacts Apple’s ability to sell the Series 9 and Ultra 2 via its online store and retail stores.

January 18, 2024:

Apple officially begins selling the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 without the blood oxygen features. This change does not impact anyone who already owns an Apple Watch with the blood oxygen features. It also only applies in the United States. 

“Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 no longer include the Blood Oxygen feature,” reads the banner applied to the checkout flow for both model watches on Apple’s website.

Apple continues its appeal of the initial ITC ruling. The company says this process could take over a year. It’s unclear if any interim solution will be reached that allows Apple to begin selling the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 with the blood oxygen features.

Jan 18, 2024 – 4:16 am PT: How to find out if an Apple Watch Series 9 model has the blood oxygen feature available

January 17, 2024:

The US appeals court denies Apple’s request to pause the ban for the duration of its appeal of the ITC’s ruling. The US appeals court says Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 with blood oxygen features will be banned from sale in the United States again, effective 5:00 pm ET on January 18, 2024.

Apple responds and says it will continue selling the devices with the blood oxygen features disabled.

Jan 17, 2024 – 5:31 pm PT: Apple to sell Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 without the blood oxygen feature

Jan 17, 2024 – 11:46 am PT: Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 sales ban resumes tomorrow, appeals court rules

January 15, 2024:

U.S. Customs and Border Protection rules that Apple’s redesign falls outside the scope of the ITC ruling. Apple’s redesign, however, is to remove the pulse oximetry features from newly sold devices.

This means that U.S. Customs has found the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 do not infringe on Masimo patents so long as they don’t “contain pulse oximetry features.”

For now, Apple will continue to sell the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 with pulse oximetry features. Meanwhile, we still await the decision from the US appeals court on Apple’s request to pause the Apple Watch ban throughout the entire duration of the appeals process.

Dec 28, 2023 – 8:12 am PT: Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 return to Apple Online Store after a week of unavailability

December 27, 2023:

Apple’s appeal for a pause of the Apple Watch ban was granted thanks to the US appeals court. The pause runs through January 10. Apple has also submitted a software update that it believes will resolve the issue, but a decision on whether that software fix adequately addresses the two patents won’t be made until January 12.

In a statement to 9to5Mac, Apple reiterated that it strongly disagrees with the ITC’s decision and is working on every possible solution to bring the devices back to the market. The company also formally filed an appeal.
