Apple Watch Walkie-Talkie Quietly Retired in watchOS 27 Beta

Apple has removed the Walkie-Talkie app from Apple Watch in the first developer beta of watchOS 27, with the feature no longer appearing in the app list or Control Center. Walkie-Talkie, launched in 2018, used FaceTime style tech to push-to-talk over Wi-Fi or cellular. After a security flaw was fixed in watchOS 5.3, Apple showed little momentum for the feature, and its removal in the beta suggests a quiet retirement; Apple has not officially confirmed the change, and a public beta and fall release are still expected.

"Apple Faces Legal Challenges Over Apple Watch Features and Imports"

Apple has updated its U.S. website to inform customers that the Blood Oxygen feature is no longer included in the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models, with part numbers ending in LW/A. This change is in response to a U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) sales ban after ruling that Apple violated Masimo's patents with the feature. The Blood Oxygen app still works on previously-sold models, and the feature remains available on Apple Watch models sold outside the U.S. Apple's appeal against the ITC's decision is ongoing.
